Blogger Valeria Cheklina (Lerchak), who was convicted of illegal currency transactions, whose pardon was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin on November 14, published an article on Instagram (owned by Meta, which is recognized as extremist and banned in Russia) in which she thanked everyone who supported her, as well as the Russian leader.
"We want to thank you for your support. It is truly a happy day in life. It's not just a piece of paper with an apology. Thank you for your kindness to our president. This is the chance to beat cancer forever," she said.
