the call of the reader. Hello, my name is Vladimir Ivanovich. I’m 83 years old. I have a few questions. Why not made in the law to every officer and member of while working in the civil service and their families had no property abroad? Then why to spend money on defense? Whom to protect?

Pavel Krasheninnikov: We have discussed this question of how to deal with property abroad. We have different situations, including those associated with the fact that the person left the roots in the former Soviet republics. Once we were citizens of the same country. But the Soviet Union collapsed, unfortunately, and collapsed for all. We had a lot of broken links. Many citizens – their number is large – have a property in the CIS, e.g. Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Abkhazia. We believe that in this case, foreign ownership is possible. We can’t write in the Constitution address the restrictions – for example, you cannot own property in the United States of America, UK, other countries on the list. In my opinion, very important and the main issue is the question of the legality of the acquisition of such property. If you see that the property was acquired illegally, for illegal means, it is necessary to take measures, not only related with the occupation of the position.

Vladimir. I Agree with you.

Pavel Krasheninnikov: You know, we for the first time in the Constitution pointed to the fact that people who have dual citizenship, residency or other grounds for residence abroad, cannot be civil servants. This is very serious. If a person has dual citizenship, let’s say he got in some country, it often brings the oath of citizenship that he will abide by its laws. Let him do it, but just don’t do this then in the public service.

by the Way, a large block of questions that came by e-mail, connections with government officials and citizenship. Does the punishment of those high officials who will hide a second citizenship? How many officials will lose their posts after the adoption of the amendment?

Pavel Krasheninnikov: Great question. These norms were already in the anti-corruption legislation. And already during the formation of the authorities, this issue was taken into account. Of course, when it is in the Constitution when it will be tough, I think that some number of people will still be out of work. But we have no problem to arrange some cleaning. Often, someone wants blood. No need to build a system and in government. First, that people with dual citizenship was not in the public service. Secondly, they did not claim on her. To avoid such high-profile processes to identify h��the case with foreign citizenship or accounts abroad. If someone has a second citizenship, for God’s sake, he is the same person, let are engaged in business, let’s a journalist, he a Professor, it’s all he can do. But public service still with dual citizenship could not go. To serve in this case to a single state.

children subject to such requirements? The child can open an account abroad?

Pavel Krasheninnikov: Is not for children. We had a proposal to expand the prohibitions to include wives, children, mothers-in-law, etc. But still decided that this should not be done.

does the amendment on the territorial integrity of negotiations on the border? Whether punishable any discussion on the possible revision of borders?

Pavel Krasheninnikov: we Have a law on the state border. The issues related to setting boundaries, settling, etc., are stipulated in a special law.

the proposed amendments to the Constitution we have provided such a reservation: “the Russian Federation ensures the protection of its sovereignty and territorial integrity. Actions (with the exception of the delimitation, demarcation with neighboring countries), aimed at the alienation of the territory, and calls are not allowed.” Originally posted by without that reservation, but we the Ministry of foreign Affairs and the border guards said we are doing this work constantly. Then we proposed to specify a note “with the exception of Federal law.” But an objection: it means that if you set Federal law, to pay site? Impossible. So ultimately chose that wording.

call from the reader. Elena from Moscow. That, on the basis of the new Constitution, would mean a responsible attitude to the animals? What animals we now have to take responsibility, and how can the old fashioned way?

Pavel Krasheninnikov: I don’t know what the old fashioned way. Our family Pets were and are: now, for example, a dog. Before that was a dog and a cat. I think that is good, when a family has a pet, when children grow up and see that there are still some living beings that we need to treat them carefully. So if the “old way” to understand that there are other beings, including living, that they should have different attitudes probably can the old fashioned way.

This rule now is declarative, but it should develop in the legislation about animals. Recently adopted the law about responsible treatment of animals, there are norms in the Civil code, the Criminal code and the Code of administrative offences.

Here, rather, our customs play ��ol, some moral moments that don’t always describe the law. But what were the limits, what we really need to describe. When a person mocks the animals, of course, he should be punished. Because social relations are violated, especially when it happens in public, when they see children and other citizens. I think this is an important amendment, and if you want, it is not so much about animals, but about us.

Elena, Moscow. Question: hunting and fishing are now banned or deal with it?

Pavel Krasheninnikov: Hunting and fishing, I think, will remain. Without them? But now there is a lot of framework. Because the methods of hunting and fishing still needs to be civilized. And hunting should not become a mockery. Intonation understand your question: you are opposed to such classes.

Elena, Moscow. Yes.

Pavel Krasheninnikov: I myself am not a hunter, many readers me this probably will not support. If someone wants to hunt, there are appropriate procedures that frame. If it does not turn into some horrible shape, you probably can. It should be regulated, must be controlled. I would totally hunting and fishing is not prohibited.

call from the reader. Vera, working as a teacher at a Moscow school. There is much talk about civil society, which consists of public institutions. What are the institutions of civil society are expected to support and whether the amendments to the Constitution a new provision relating to these institutions? I would like to hear your personal opinion about which of these institutions can be contrasted to our society and which are harmful to him?

Pavel Krasheninnikov: Civil society is quite new for Russia the term. We used to have it was not. We had Soviet society. I’m not saying it’s bad or not.

of Course, civil society means a society where the cornerstone is the citizen where he can Express his interests, where he can do his favorite thing. As a General rule, civil society institutions are considered nonprofit organizations, the public, various volunteer organizations, trade unions, etc.

Vera. And political parties?

Pavel Krasheninnikov: of the Party we seek power, it’s their nature. Nothing wrong there. They are in order and are created to participate in the elections. As soon as they reached their goal, I think, can reflect the point of view of civil society, but they themselves are already elements of power. For example, the head of a party became a Deputy and head of faction. It is, of course, reflects also the views of their constituents, civil society. But he is already in power. This does not mean that there is athat’s the contradiction. There is no contradiction.

the Normal policy would be to support the institutions of government, institutions of civil society.

the Foundation of civil society is, of course, the Constitution, private property. Why private? Because there is no state. When some state-owned business, there is already the influence of the state and state property. If it is a private business, the citizens themselves for the interest risk of its own work. For example, it is important to have normal inheritance law, citizens to be able to bequeath that property which they have not passed the state as it was recently – passed state if no relatives, etc.

Our non-profit organization and direction – environmental, for example, issues related to youth, protection of animals, by volunteering, etc., specified in the amendments. Here including the competence of the government includes the obligation to consider the interests of NGOs, representatives of civil society. I support the idea of civil society has improved our country, and not by some restraining power of stories. Need this theme to promote. It is obvious that after the adoption of the amendments to the Constitution, we will need to return to the law and to adopt amendments to relevant Federal laws. A law on NGOs, law on volunteering, etc.

Vera. And there are harmful institutions of civil society? What to do with them, if they harm the state?

Pavel Krasheninnikov: If they harm the state and society, then they need to act only according to the law. There are appropriate law enforcement authorities. We don’t need to choose on the basis of like or dislike. We need to choose, it meets the law or not. Otherwise we can slip in a not very good history, and we have already passed.

call from the reader. Eugenia Semyonovna Bolshakova, 81, of St. Petersburg. Until now, forgotten children of the occupied territories. For example, Pskov oblast was occupied from the first days of the war until the winter of 1944. Children were killed as potential partisans. We still have nothing, as if we never existed. For the fight against enemies of women killed during interrogation. Why to invalids of the first group after 80 years does not add as other pensioners who have attained 80 years or five thousand?

Pavel Krasheninnikov: We are now discussing the issues related to amendments to the Basic Law, and talking about systemic issues, on social guarantees. We also talk about the fact that there is a memory of this war that it must not be forgotten. In General, the Constitution should be the norm unithe flax that should cover all social guarantees. If you give us your coordinates, we’ll look again your specific story.

Eugenia Semyonovna. Perhaps the new Constitution will solve my problem, the problem of children of war?

Pavel Krasheninnikov: Such situations often arise because authorities do not pay attention. Probably, it is necessary to stock all of the benefits that the region in which is that set at the Federal level. May be, lead to one denominator. Not to need the social support of the people depended on the region in which he lives. Here he is given privileges, not here. The system should be unified.

Question from the media partner “RG”. Chief editor of the newspaper “Vecherniy Magadan” Natalia Miftahutdinova: the amendment refers to new principles of not only the Federal structure of government, but regional and municipal. What will change here?

Pavel Krasheninnikov: According to the amendments to article 132 of the Constitution organs of state power and local self-government bodies included in the unified system of public authority and interact for the most effective solution of tasks in the public interest.

the System of public power – a single organism that needs to function smoothly at every level of government: Federation, region, municipality. For example, it is determined that the health issues are under joint jurisdiction of Russia and regions. And local governments within their powers ensure the availability of medical care.

Question from our partner. Chief editor of the newspaper “St. Petersburg Vedomosti” Dmitry Sherih: Why is the vote only provides the package for all amendments, and not separately for each amendment?

Pavel Krasheninnikov: the Amendments are holistic in nature is a complex ponastroila state mechanism more than a quarter century. The result can be seen if the measures will be implemented in the complex. So we will vote for the entire package of amendments as a whole.

here is an example: introduced targeted social support of citizens. The government is obliged to ensure the implementation of a unified and socially oriented policies: to develop plans, programs. The bodies of state power and local self-government bodies included in the unified system of public government and must act in order to make the most effective decision of tasks in the interests of the population, implementing and delivering social policies, ie, participating in the implementation of Federal programs and further developing their own. In turn, the Parliament exercises parliamentary control over the activities of theSTU of state authorities over the rights of citizens.

Question from the media partner of the “Russian newspaper”. The editor of the newspaper “Udmurtskaya Pravda” Angela Pozdeeva asks, is there any danger to the health of citizens in the voting process due to the spread of coronavirus.

Pavel Krasheninnikov: Initially, as we know, it was planned to hold a nationwide vote on April 22. But in a pandemic to ensure the safety of citizens and protection from disease was this date transferred.

When getting a new voting day came from many things, including the recommendations of the Ministry of health, Rospotrebnadzor. The situation is gradually improving. We have such optimism about the fact that the coronavirus is receding, given the security measures that were taken. We know that there is a method of voting, we know that they will be granted special protections, we know that will test everyone who is on the electoral Commission, so there is risks are minimal. The safety of human health will be provided at the appropriate level. The working group is in constant contact with CEC, the CPS. Everything is meticulously planned.
