Vladimir Putin pardoned the blogger Larchek.
The president released her from punishment in the case of withdrawing more than 251.5 million rubles abroad.
Blogger Valeria Cheklina was released from her sentence and her criminal record was cleared. She previously received a five-year suspended sentence and a large fine.
On November 12, Lerchak appealed to the president for a pardon. She was diagnosed with stage IV stomach cancer and had to travel to China for treatment.
