Senator Lyudmila Narusova, during a discussion in the Federation Council of a draft law on criminal and administrative liability for discrediting and forgery on volunteers, mentioned videos of executions using a hammer. She believes that after the adoption of the amendments, the actions of the Wagner PMC can no longer be criticized at all.
Consideration of the “Prigozhin amendments” on volunteers turned into a heated discussion in the Federation Council about the possibility of criticizing the actions of the fighters of the Wagner group.
Discrediting volunteer groups – does the law clarify the difference between discrediting and criticizing? Live public execution with a sledgehammer – is it discrediting? she asked Senator Irina Rukavishnikova.
Rukavishnikova, in turn, said that the term discredit is well established in the practice of criminal law and administrative law. As a result, the assembly for the adoption of the bill was passed by a majority of votes.
