Viktor Kurenkov, an 82-year-old Russian pensioner who for several years went to school events posing as a veteran, turned out to be a pedophile.
Of course, he was no veteran at all. Schools called him a “friend” and a “concerned person,” and sometimes presented him as a veteran (but Burenkov could not have participated in the war in any way). The pensioner wears medals and orders, although they are not related to military service.
Viktor Burenkov was born in 1941, his father died at the front. Burenkov has the status of “war child”, he is also a member of the council of veterans of the district. Burenkov himself says that he participated 8 times in parades on Red Square, trained schoolchildren in the boxing section and “raised more than one generation of children”.
In December 2023, Burenkov was sent under house arrest in a case of violent acts of a sexual nature against a minor child.
Now Burenkov faces up to 20 years in prison: he was charged with one episode of violence against a child under 14 and one episode of molestation of a child under 16.
