The Kremlin said that there are no discussions about the return of the death penalty

“No, there is no discussion going on at the moment,” he told reporters.

Earlier, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev expressed the opinion that, within the framework of the current Russian Constitution, the moratorium on the death penalty can be overcome, if necessary, by changing the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of Russia.

Later, Andrei Klishas, ​​chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation, said that a return to the death penalty under the current Russian Constitution is impossible.
