Many Duma deputies from the pro-presidential coalition are supporters of restoration of the death penalty. The leader of the People's Deputy group Gennady Raikov and his supporters propose that drug trading be added to the list of crimes punishable by death.
Vladimir Lysenko from the Russian Regions, who is not known to be a bloodthirsty person, thinks that it is necessary to preserve "the state's right to murder" because the crime situation in the country is very serious and terrorists are on alert. It will be the most difficult to twist arms of the single-mandate deputies who made the return of the death penalty one of the items of their election programs.
