It is also proposed to introduce penalties in the amount of from 50 to 100 thousand rubles, in case of repeated offence – from 100 to 150 thousand.
– we are increasingly faced with incidents of rudeness, disrespect on the part of the authorities, – said Khinshtein. He expects that the bill will be “a serious stupor” and forced officials to “think before you afford any disrespectful, abusive, degrading the honor and dignity of a replica”.
– Every official must understand that walking in power, working in state structures, he has an additional responsibility to our citizens, – said the author. – This responsibility today will be spelled out in the law, through the courts, any citizen can defend his innocence.
it is Important that the responsibility for the officials will advance and in cases where it is not only in the workplace, but “in the garden, in line and in social networks,” he explained.
Current regulations essentially do not allow you to bring officials to administrative responsibility, said the first Deputy head of the faction “United Russia” Nikolay Pankov.
“Any citizen can report cases of abuse, the manifestations of callousness and indifference on the part of officials. People should not be silent, – he said in comments to “RG”. – Such cases should be made public. Officials everywhere should watch their behavior and their statements – both in life and on the Internet”.

The insults on the Internet are equal in terms of punishment to the public.
