The Kremlin said there were no discussions on the return of the death penalty

“Such an issue is not on the Kremlin’s agenda right now.

We are not discussing this issue," Peskov said.

So he commented on the idea of ​​the LDPR leader Leonid Slutsky on the possibility of holding a referendum on the return of the death penalty.

Andrei Klishas, ​​head of the Federation Council committee on constitutional legislation and state building, expressed the opinion that this initiative is unrealizable, since this issue cannot be resolved in this way.

Earlier, a member of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs, Svetlana Bessarab, commented in an interview with RT on the proposal of the Commissioner for Children's Rights in the Republic of Tatarstan, the founder of the National Parental Committee, Irina Volynets, to lift the moratorium on the death penalty for pedophile killers.
