The body of Sergei Semisotov, editor of the Traktir po pyatnitsam newspaper, was found on 31 October 1996 in an underpass in the Krasnooktyabrsky district of Volgograd. He had been stabbed in the chest.
One suggestion is that he was killed during a robbery. The investigators also considered other possibilities. In July 1997 his killer was sentenced to ten years imprisonment. Semisotov died as a result of a quarrel with an acquaintance.
