On March 25, the president signed amendments that expanded the scope of these provisions of the Code of Administrative Offenses and the Criminal Code to discredit the actions of Russian government agencies abroad. They came into effect on April 5th.

We consider it unlawful to prosecute for critical statements regarding the political course of the state, including in regarding the events in Ukraine, if such statements do not contain calls for use of violence or other clearly unlawful acts in the generally accepted understanding. At the same time, we understand that in acute situations people often admit statements that could formally be considered illegal, but, according to are, in fact, not inflammatory agitation, but an emotional remark. Often we do not have the opportunity to get acquainted with the content of the statements, and even more so with their context, especially now, with such an intense flow of news. Therefore, in most cases, we will refrain from evaluating the statement.
