Apparently, the country will drop outstanding fines and reimburse those who have paid fines except where self-quarantine rules were broken. This is one of a series of moves to compensate people in the wake ofo falling real incomes.
Regardless of the motives or what you think of Russia, it would be nice to see people have their fines lifted in Canada. Instead, as our real incomes fall, Trudeau continues to double down on idiotic policies (COVID and non-COVID). I suppose if he lifted the federal COVID policies and reimbursed people, the last two years of harassing, segregating, and demonizing his fellow citizens would be wasted…
Good for them! It's about time any government stood up for their populace in any way.
Here in Sweden, lots of police lost personal belongings when moslems torched their squad cars during the Easter Riots this year. The police agency has decided that the officers have no right of reimbursement.
That's the way the politically appointed officers of the police corps act. No need for foreign lies or propaganda, the reality is shameful enough.
Edit: it also shows how behind the curve western media and psych war-divisions are regarding very monetarily cheap yet very populist profitable actions. Remember that the russians more or less invented modern propaganda warfare during the 1920s and 1930s.
