Probably not, but it won't matter.

Guilt is a legal term that refers to whether someone has violated a written law. Guilty absolutely does not inherently mean that something wrong has been done. It just means that something was (or in some cases was not) done, and that thing is against the law. The law may be shitty.

Russia has tons of shitty written laws, some of which may be flat out inhumane or strongly against our beliefs.

Going with your heart and doing the right thing will get you sent to prison in a lot of countries.

This is Russia we are talking about. Laws are irrelevant when it's political and or advantageous. Honestly not much different than some of the bullshit going on in the US
