      Russia has death penalty, there's just a moratorium on it. Politicians were floating starting executions again ever since we've been kicked from European Human Rights Court in February.

        How do those trials work though? How are you supposed to try enemy combatants for war crimes committed on territory you don't claim jurisdiction over?

          The citizens of Mariupol were terrorized by nazis for years and lots of survivors will gladly testify, legal details I don't know - the territory will become independent entity in some kind of union/federation with Russia and maybe Belarus+some other countries, thus I believe it's laws are yet to be written or adopted formally!?

          As I said I don't really know law, but they won't just let nazis go away, Russians are very serious with that matter.
