Hard labor for life

He was sentenced to hard labor for life in 1961, but lived until 1991, or about 89 years old - that seems very old for someone imprisoned in hard labor. Did he actually serve out the sentence, or paroled/pardoned at some point? Green Cardamom (talk) 15:55, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

The German Wikipedia says he was pardoned for health reasons in 1979 although the statement in unsourced and so doesn't feature here. Keresaspa (talk) 16:23, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
