Against the backdrop of pardoning the most violent criminals for participation in the "SMO" russia decided to revoke the rehabilitation of victims of political repression

The General Prosecutor's Office of the russian federation may review previously made decisions on the rehabilitation of victims of political repression. The corresponding document was published on the legal information website.

It states that changes have been made to the russian federation's State Policy Concept for the Commemoration of the Victims of Political Repression. These changes concern the inadmissibility of rehabilitating and justifying individuals who have committed serious and especially serious crimes, war crimes, and crimes against peace and humanity.

The General Prosecutor's Office proposed regularly reviewing and revoking such decisions. It was not specified which rehabilitated victims of Stalin's and Brezhnev's repressions would once again be labeled "enemies of the people" by the russian punitive agency.

Meanwhile, on August 23, the Supreme Court submitted a draft law to the State Duma that would exempt participants in the "special military operation" from criminal liability, regardless of the severity of their crimes or the number of previous convictions.
