In Russia, they proposed to reduce the punishment for murders committed based on blood revenge. The idea was presented at a webinar organized by the Faculty of Law of Moscow State University. According to Dagestan State University professor Doria Ziyadova, "Blood revenge is a tool for restoring social justice." Especially given the "incompetence, corruption and dishonesty" of law enforcement officers. "The institute represents one of the most effective means of social regulation and is an instrument for protecting the honor and dignity of individuals, where there is corruption in many structures of state power," Ziyadova said. She called not to classify the motive of blood revenge in the murder as an aggravating circumstance. The HRC did not support Professor Dagestan's idea. Council member Eva Marcheva told the publication "Podem" that "the state needs to curb such phenomena" in order not to slip into the Middle Ages.
