          The simplest is the most difficult. Bankruptcy and raiding of military-industrial complex plants, betrayal of the state? And participation in the WSO on the side of Ukraine? What about the limitation of financing of military orders? (All according to the law, financing according to the plan request ) And what about the sabotage of developments for the production of weapons for the VZO? (and everything will be according to the letter of the law)

          However, the moratorium was extended. But this measure was made as a concession to Europe, relations with which in the OSCE, PACE, and the ECHR clearly did not work for us. It's time to get rid of the European standards imposed on us, besides, their open presence in the camp of a clear enemy on the Ukrainian battlefield contributes to this.
          The old man is well done, he does not suffer from sentimentality, and with the existing external threat, he more than intelligibly explained to the internal enemy that there would be a personal bullet for each of them.

        IMHO They will not introduce it, but it will work as it should. We have the article High treason (Article 275 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and the terms for it are worthy (from 12 to 20 years). Only now hucksters supplying Ukraine, which is at war with us, with money and resources (both directly and through intermediaries) are not attracted to it for some reason. Military opponents are well aware of our forces and plans, and our top leadership is misinformed by their own intelligence and there are no "landings" either. Unfortunately, it seems that at the top, oddly enough, everyone is happy with what is happening. negative

Beria's activities as head of the NKVD were marked by putting things in order in the NKVD system, reviewing the cases of those illegally convicted and releasing a significant number of people, including the military.

        58. part 1. Treason to the motherland (citizens of the USSR, captured in the Wehrmacht, in combat formations outside the Wehrmacht and in police units were serving sentences under this article);
        58. part 2 Treason to the Motherland by servicemen (servicemen captured in the Wehrmacht, in military formations outside the Wehrmacht and in police formations served their sentences under this article).

          Bialystok became part of Poland, and Lviv became part of Ukraine. The exchange was mutual and no one hurt anyone.

          Poles from Lviv emigrated to Poland, and Belarusians and Ukrainians from Bialystok to Belarus.

          The exchange was far from in our favor, the Polished Belarusians and Ukrainians from Bialystok did not all want to return to the territory of Belarus.

      And what a savings, for each life sentence we spend around sixty thousand per month. And this is taxpayers' money. It's time in Russia, the death penalty with confiscation of property from both the guilty person and his closest relatives (this would be an ideal solution for our officials) and then he stole billions, served five years and everything was released. For treason, for pedophilia, for espionage, the death penalty is necessary for all this. If this is put up for a referendum, 90 percent will be for (with the exception of officials).

      And if the war is hybrid, then for hybrid treason - death.

      It is high time! Well done, Syabry... When will Russia finally be honored? Well, stop following the Vienna Convention already! Legislative acts initiated and enshrined in Europe should no longer be recognized by us at all!
      And for treason - the death penalty is the most! Scoundrels should know that by betraying their country, they will not receive public censure, but a bullet in the back of the head!

      Alexander Grigoryevich well done! He watches over the peace and tranquility of his people, protecting him from all evil spirits and attempts to change the state system .. I envy his devotion, courage and political will. And in Russia, with this set of businesslike state qualities, it somehow didn’t work out .... Everything is like in Europe: traitors, spies, murderers, pedophiles, drug lords, state plunderers. budget - everyone "feeds" at the expense of the people for years, then they go free and take up the old ..... In general, sheer democratic "nonsense" at the expense of the people ....

      The decision is correct from the point of view of PR. The practical application ... I can’t imagine the presence of secrets in Belarus, the disclosure of information about which will draw on this article.
