Putin's verdict to pardon the blogger Larchak was based on humanitarian considerations only.
According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov in a conversation with the TAS news agency, President Vladimir Putin acted out of humanitarian considerations only when he decided to grant amnesty to the blogger Larchak.
Peskov emphasized that Larchek caused heavy economic damage to the country, but Putin took into account her serious illness and the fact that she is the mother of minor children.
