    Чалавек ні ў чым невінаваты.
    Чарговае злачынства злачыннага рэжыму супраць чалавецтва. Злачынства якое не мае тэрміну даўніны.

    Будет теперь вместо обслуживания офисной техники изоляцию с проводов снимать. Выгодное дельце кое для кого.

    Труд заключённых это дармовой и прибыльный бизнес. Сайт ДИН МВД с ихнего преимущества так и начинается.
    А во времена Сталина-Берии концлагеря тоже регулярно пополнялись.
