Russia’s Supreme court is considering the question of mitigation of punishment for the repost.
Answering a question of journalists, whether it is planned humanization of articles of the criminal code, providing punishment for the distribution, including a repost of extremist and prohibited materials, the head of the Supreme court Vyacheslav Lebedev said: “the Board (of the Supreme court) discusses this issue.”
