>> they are responsible but the people in charge are the ones who ordered it.

So you are not responsbile for your actions because you're not at the top? So many great tragedies throughout history where this was the justification and we're still stuck with this mentality...



I don't know how you can read this into my comment. Everybody should be punished but the people ordering the punishment are complicit.


Your comment would have made sense if you were talking about some country that wasn't actually corrupt to the core of almost every government service and run as a disguised dictatorship. Who cares about human rights and moralistic laws in a country where every government service is for sale, except for those which are needed by one of Putin's friends, that being the only thing that trumps money?

What is 'morally right' is just not the issue there. Russia will need to go through some major development steps before moral issues can even be meaningfully talked about.
