Employees of the Magadan Region Prosecutor's Office reviewed about 3,000 decisions on the rehabilitation of victims of repression, of which approximately 50-60 were canceled, reported to "Vesti Magadana" by the head of the criminal-judicial department, Maxim Komarovsky. He noted that cases of "Vlasovites, Bandera supporters, accomplices of Nazi Germany" are subject to review, and "as a result of such work, historical justice is restored".
In January 2025, the Primorye Prosecutor's Office reported the cancellation of eight decisions on the rehabilitation of the repressed, and petitions for recognizing the rehabilitation as unlawful were submitted to the Prosecutor General's Office for another 12 decisions. Over the past three years, the Primorsky Krai Prosecutor's Office reviewed more than 9,000 decisions on the rehabilitation of victims of political repression and found 20 "unfounded" decisions. According to law enforcement, these "illegally rehabilitated" residents of Primorye joined the German army during the war or "carried out orders of the Nazis on occupied Soviet lands".
In the fall of last year, the Prosecutor General's Office published a draft amendment to the 2008 order on victims of political repression. It was decided to "organize work on a permanent basis to identify and cancel" decisions on the rehabilitation of Soviet political prisoners, whom the modern Russian state considers "traitors to the Motherland," guilty of serious and especially serious crimes, "war criminals" and "accomplices of the Nazis". Representative of the Prosecutor General's Office Andrey Ivanov told "Kommersant" that since 2022, the department has canceled more than 4,000 decisions on the rehabilitation of the repressed.
In the summer of 2024, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the amended "Concept of State Policy on Commemorating the Memory of Victims of Political Repressions". The document stated that the general amnesty declared in the USSR in 1955 "led to rehabilitation based on formal criteria and the whitewashing of Nazi accomplices and traitors to the Motherland, who served in the Baltic, Ukrainian, and other punitive units formed on national grounds, participants in underground nationalist and bandit formations".
