Krasnov Praises Digitalization in Russian Justice System

Regional and independent outlets highlight Krasnov’s praise of Russian courts as sharply at odds with reports of political trials and limited judicial independence. They stress that calling courts the best place for justice ignores cases where defendants, especially critics of the authorities, receive harsh sentences. They expect the gap between official claims of fairness and reported abuses to remain a central issue for Russia’s legal system.

• •Public praise from the Supreme Court leadership is portrayed as an attempt to strengthen trust without changing power imbalances.
