Andrei Ivanovich Barausov (Russian: Андрей Иванович Бараусов; born August 5, 1961), known as The Lensky Maniac (Russian: Ленский маньяк), is a Soviet-Russian serial killer and rapist who murdered at least 7 underage girls in Sakha from 1983 to 1997. Most of these killings remained unsolved until early January 2023, when Barausov, now serving a sentence for serial rape, confessed to them.
For his latest crimes, he was sentenced to 21 years imprisonment to be served concurrently with his 2018 conviction, consisting of 18 years.
