Vladimir Putin pardoned Larchek. A blogger with stage 4 cancer is preparing for treatment in China.
The president signed an amnesty order for blogger Valeria Chakalina (Larchak). As Dmitry Peskov reported, the decision was dictated solely by considerations of humanity: when issuing the order, the serious illness of the blogger and the presence of minor children were taken into account.
"In making the decision and signing the corresponding decree, the head of state was guided by humanitarian considerations only. It is clear that the economic damage to the country was very great. But at the same time, it was taken into account, first of all, that this is a woman who has a terminal illness, and also that she has minor children, and that was the reason for the decision of the head of state," said the head of state.
The blogger's defense thanked Vladimir Putin for the decision. Lawyer Konstantin Tretyakov said that Cheklina intends to go to China for treatment - the dates of the trip have not yet been agreed upon with the receiving party. In February, Larchek was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer. Earlier this week it was learned that she is undergoing a second course of chemotherapy, and the doctors recommended that she consider CAR-T cell treatment in China.
