Russia's current laws concerning Criminal Procedures...

Russia's current laws concerning Criminal Procedures are "too soft," an advisor to the prosecutor general Vladimir Kolesnikov said at a press conference.
The new Criminal Procedures Code is imperfect, he said. "In my opinion and in the opinion of experts, the Code should aim to protect the victims. But I am told that the defendant and the suspect should be protected first," he said.
Russia prematurely discarded the death penalty, "an extreme measure of social protection," he said.
