Must stay in the past. The member of the Human Rights Council Marcheva opposed the reduction of the punishment for murder as part of blood revenge. A professor from Dagestan came up with this idea in a discussion at Moscow University. At the Faculty of Law of Moscow University, an online meeting was held on the topic of blood revenge. Dagestan State University professor Doria Ziyadova suggested classifying murders without aggravation as motivated by blood revenge. The expert believes that a person who took revenge on a criminal cannot be compared to someone who killed a pregnant woman or a pensioner for money. Ziadova and other speakers noted that blood revenge can deter crime and protect women. The round table sparked a heated discussion on the Internet. HRC member Eva Marcheva meanwhile told the publication "Podium" that the aggravation was introduced to reduce such murders and leave them in the past, as an element of the Middle Ages. "I think it was necessary to stop the wave of murders that resulted from blood revenge that took place in the North Caucasus, and not only there. And this, I must say, caused the desired result. We have far fewer blood feud murders. And I think it was right on the part of the legislators, because in this way we, the society and the state, said that all these traditions should involve the distant past until middle school. Ages, that in a civilized society every life is valued and that no one should be responsible there for his son, for some of his ancestors." Merkava added that she does not see a need to change the criminal law in this part. "We can stimulate the development of this institution, on condition, again. The state needs to curb such phenomena, and we have already done a lot for that." The participants in the online table also discussed the issue of blood revenge in light of the conflict in Ukraine. Candidate of legal sciences Andrey Zyukov, who serves in the LPR, said that the Ukrainians and Russians should take an example from the Caucasian peoples, who "learned to negotiate."
