The murder of the girl provoked a wave of folk anger - a crowd of local residents gathered at the police department, demanding that they give them a linch detained for the court. Later, opinions appeared about the abolition of the moratorium on the death penalty in Russia. In particular, the State Duma deputy Evgeny Primakov spoke about this, in particular. His words are given by Izvestia , clarifying that after the parliamentarian he refused to comment on the topic.
“I want the death penalty for violent crimes against children and helpless, terrorism, betrayal of the Motherland and corruption in the country threatening the country to be restored in our country,” he said.
The State Duma deputy Dmitry Ionin did not express his opinion directly-“for” he or “against” the death penalty, but brought several arguments in the form of issues that he suggested thinking of the subscribers of his telegram channel .
“The question of the abolition of the moratorium on the death penalty has already divided society. As a public person, I feel important to note several facts from which you cannot turn away. We have an imperfect judicial system that makes mistakes. The death penalty will create executioners, but these executioners will not be individual employees of the FSIN, but the whole society. Are we ready for this? The company is not ready to be responsible for its actions. Our civil society, the very one who should demand something from the state is not ripe, and therefore the state most often dictates to it. Maturity is a state when you are ready to personally bear responsibility for your actions, ”he wrote.
Later, a survey appeared in the official State Duma group in VKontakte, in which users are offered to express their opinion on the return of the death penalty in Russia. More than 100 thousand users took part in it, and the majority act “for” - more than 79%.
“To introduce the death penalty, it is necessary to work out a mechanism for excluding a judicial error,” is a comment by Vitaly Bely, who scored more than four thousand likes under a post with a survey.
Many social activists also do not support the idea of canceling the moratorium on the death penalty, including due to the fact that the justice system is often mistaken in, there are many examples of which in the history of Russia. This was written on her Facebook by the press secretary of the Yakut diocese, Elizabeth Maria Senchukova.
“About the idea of removing the moratorium on the death penalty, I have exactly one comment. Vitebsk maniac, ”she wrote, referring to the serial killer of Gennady Mikhasevich, nicknamed the Vitebsk strander, who was operating since 1970-1980. Over 14 years, 36 girls became his victims, whom he raped and killed. For these crimes, 14 people were condemned, who stipulated themselves under torture. One of them was shot.
The candidate of legal sciences Julia Fedotova also spoke out against the abolition of the moratorium on the death penalty.
“Criminology has long and definitely understood: the concept of hypertrophied general prevention does not work. The death penalty does not stop anyone from the murder. The most cruel serial killers are from the USSR, where the "highest measure of social protection" was used extremely actively. When a person flooded his eyes with blood, and there is one desire, he least of all thinks that something can be for it. There is a victim, another world at this moment does not exist. And for that matter - life imprisonment in the Russian prison is a much more cruel punishment than the death penalty, ”she wrote on her Facebook .
