The head of the Constitutional Court Zorkin opposed the return of the death penalty in Russia

According to him, it would be a big mistake to turn off the path of humanization of legislative policy.

“And, in particular, a very bad signal to society would now be the abandonment of the moratorium on the death penalty in Russia, which some politicians are already calling for,” RIA Novosti quotes Zorkina.

In early June, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the return of the death penalty was not on the Kremlin's agenda.

This is how 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.
