Russian lawmakers vote at the State Duma (lower parliament house) in Moscow, Jan. 27, 2017. Russia's parliament voted 380-3 on Friday to decriminalize domestic violence in cases where it does not cause substantial bodily harm and does not occur more than once a year. The move, which eliminates criminal liability in such cases, makes a violation punishable by a fine of roughly $500, or a 15-day arrest, provided there is no repeat within 12 months. 1  The bill now goes to the rubber-stamp upper chamber, where no opposition is expected.
