Vladimir Putin signed an amnesty order for blogger Valeria Chekalina.
Her criminal record is cleared and she is released from the sentence imposed by the court in July 2026. The document signed by the President was published on the official website of Legal Actions.
The blogger received a suspended sentence in the case of illegal transfers of millions of dollars abroad. On November 12, she appealed to the head of state for a pardon, one of her lawyers, Konstantin Tretyakov, told TASS.
A court in Moscow rejected Chekalina's (Larchak) request to allow her to travel to China for stage four stomach cancer treatment.
