One of Mikhail Khachaturyan's three teenage daughters stabbed him fatally in the heart in their Moscow apartment.
According to Newser, the man's murder has refocused attention on domestic violence and sparked a culture-war debate.
Khachaturyan allegedly beat, humiliated, threatened, and sexually abused his three daughters.
When he pepper-sprayed each of them in the face, the girls sprayed him back, beat him with a hammer, and stabbed him to death.
But not all Russians side with the girls, despite corroboration of domestic abuse from Khachaturyan's estranged wife.
Prosecutors charged all three with premeditated murder.
Likewise, the powerful Russian Orthodox Church are opposing the idea of beefing up Russia's limited domestic-violence laws.
