Vladimir Putin pardoned the blogger Larchek.
Valeria Cheklina, known on RuNet as Larchek, cleared her criminal record, "guided by the principles of humanity." The corresponding order was published on the official portal for legal information and entered into force today.
Two days earlier it was learned that Chaklina had written an appeal to the president asking for a pardon. We will recall that on July 31 she was sentenced to five years of probation and a fine of 763.5 million rubles for illegally withdrawing funds abroad. The blogger pleaded not guilty. Larchek's ex-husband, Artem Chaklin, was sentenced in April to seven years in prison for the same case.
In February, Chekalina was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer. She is now undergoing a second course of chemotherapy in Moscow; The doctors recommended that she undergo cell therapy in China, but the court rejected her requests to leave Russia. Guided by medical indications, the blogger submitted a request for amnesty.
