The world learned that in 1945, two ways:
1) "I was only following orders" was deemed not a valid excuse at the Nürnberg trials; not refusing orders like that is complicity; and
2) Germany as a whole was de-Nazified. Just like Russia needs to be now. (But more thoroughly: in Germany's case, it was an aberration of a dozen years; in Russia's, it's a millennium of unbroken history of totalitarianism.)
Too bad the world seems to have forgotten those lessons since then.
Russian police is notorious for selling logs, private data or access and also selling databases on a black market.
