Lercek made an official statement after the pardon from Putin

The pardoned blogger Valeria Chekalina, known online as Lercek and previously convicted of illegally transferring capital to the United Arab Emirates, announced her intention to rethink the crimes committed and prevent them in the future.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on pardoning Chekalina, completely removing her criminal record and releasing her from further serving her sentence. The relevant legal act was published on Saturday.

In a comment cited by the news agency, Chekalina noted that every person in life makes mistakes, and she was no exception. The blogger stressed that now her main task is to accept this experience, draw the right conclusions and avoid such situations in the future. She also expressed her deep appreciation for the tremendous support given to her, promising not to let her supporters down and be sure to defeat the disease.

Separate words of gratitude Chekalina addressed to his team of defenders, who advised her to apply with an official petition for pardon directly to the head of state.

The blogger added that until the end of her days she will pray for the health of the Russian leader and put candles in churches, because he gave her a real chance to save her life.

Recall that in February, Chekalina was diagnosed with the fourth stage of cancer of the stomach. In this regard, the defense previously applied for permission for her to travel to China to undergo the necessary course of therapy.
