Happy, it would seem that event. On Tuesday in the state Duma introduced a long-awaited bill, which received the popular name “the punishment of officials for rudeness.” That’s just to throw caps in the air before: the government has given this project the conclusion that the expected effect of the law is reduced to almost zero, and that ordinary citizens can only get worse.

in short, the essence of the bill: the penalties for offending are higher for all, not just for officials. It is established that an insult, as stated in the explanatory note, “can be expressed not only in the obscene (the current interpretation of the — Auth.), but in the other humiliating, insulting public morals form.” In addition, abuse can involve not only another person, but the group Added entities. responsibility for abuse in “information-telecommunications networks (including network “Internet”)”. Introduces liability for insult “a person holding state or municipal office, in connection with the exercise of his powers (duties)”. That’s just about the officials. Moreover, they provided not only fines but also suspension.

Like all good, right? That is official now may well pay a post for a phrase such as: if workers have no money for bread, let them eat cake. And all these “fuckin’ … ” and “the state did not ask you to give birth” should be forgotten like a bad dream.

But. In the package of documents for introduction of the bill there is the obligatory conclusion of the government of Russia. It says that the proposed addition of article 5.61 of the administrative code, the fines words about another humiliating, insulting public morals form is “uncertain, estimates and appears to be excessive”. That is the official humiliating people censor the words bear no liability should not be form something decent.

Further, the government believes that “approach is about establishing a heightened responsibility of public civil and municipal servants as compared to the other officials” – it’s not fair, equality is violated. Even a reference is given to the position of the constitutional Court on this issue.

total, the output is somewhat not what was intended. Namely.

Just increased the penalties for the offense (and citizens too).

No increased liability for rudeness to officials there.

it is now possible to Penalize and recording in social networks, not only against specific individuals but also group of individuals. i.e. you wrote in your blog: “all the officials of Russia – a dirty word” – take the penalty. The Governor told the meeting: “residents Tmutarakani nezobrazovat and bast soup slurp” – and nothing else.

Well, for WHabout fought?

In fact, now a word for deputies. Will they be able to defend its position and to overcome the resistance of the government — will receive the law “on the punishment of officials for rudeness”. If you can’t get from him only the name and another increase in penalties for all.
