But in 2018 Kristina, Angelina and Maria Khachaturyan - then aged 19,18 and 17 - stabbed him to death with his own hunting knife.
The two older sisters have been facing murder charges while the younger Maria was found mentally unfit to stand trial.
Now the sisters have got revenge beyond the grave after judges at Moscow's Butyrsky District Court declared their dad guilty of sexual abuse in a posthumous trial.
Kristina Khachaturian
The verdict, announced on 21st April, also found Khachaturyan guilty of distributing pornography and causing grievous bodily harm.
The trial, almost unprecedented in Russian legal history, took two years to reach its conclusion.
Astonoshingly Kristina and Angelina are still facing a murder trial for their dad's killing.
Maria Khachaturian
But Russian legal experts believe the posthumous conviction of their father could lead to the collapse of the case against them.
Defence attorney Alexei Parshin expressed satisfaction with the verdict, stating that it confirms the sisters acted in self-defence.
He urged the Russian Investigative Committee in charge of the police investigation to withdraw the murder charges.
Angelina Khachaturian
But monster Khachaturyan's relatives have expressed outrage.
His sister, Naira, announced plans to appeal the verdict, saying it was based solely on the daughters' testimonies with no other evidence.
