Nizhny Novgorod lawyers complained to the public Prosecutor, Antimonopoly service and regional management of Rospotrebnadzora on the decree of the Governor Gleb Nikitin about the connection of beauty to the system, the video Analytics. Like most representatives of the beauty industry, they consider the requirements of the head of the region and point to illegal interference in the private lives of employees, customers, hair salons. The government insist that the system is required to commit violations in the salons at the time of the pandemic coronavirus, guaranteed anonymity and promised to subsidize up to 100% of the installation costs of the equipment. For a good example Mr Nikitin himself a haircut on camera.In the Nizhny Novgorod region is gaining momentum confrontation between business and power, due to the requirement to connect the beauty to the system of video analysis. By the decree of the Governor Gleb Nikitin from may 11, the region moved to the stage of removing coronavirus restrictions. In particular, the work can renew the beauty (including hairdressers), the food stores (subject to failure from trying on clothes and shoes), as well as cafes and restaurants. It is necessary to observe certain precautions, and one of these conditions caused dissatisfaction among the representatives of the beauty industry. The Governor demanded to install in rooms surveillance cameras, which will “Rostelecom” together with NtechLab and Nizhny Novgorod company “the Optimist”, or choose a particular provider for specific hardware requirements. According to the plan of the authorities, the information from the cameras will be collected into a single system “Map resident of Nizhny Novgorod region”, and the artificial intelligence in real-time will monitor compliance with the recommendations of the CPS to wear masks, gloves and keep your distance. Initially, the government promised to compensate 50% of the cost of the installation of cameras (but not more than 3 thousand rubles. per piece). After the first protests, the Governor increased the amount of compensation and promised to pay 100% of the cost of buying cameras (but not more than 8 thousand rubles for one) those who will join the project until may 27. After 27 may, the business can recoup half of the cost.Most of the representatives of beauty industry took the initiative of Mr. Nikitin in arms and gathered against her almost 9 thousand signatures on a petition on the portal Sapped. The authors believe that the government of the Nizhny Novgorod region using the situation for personal purposes and the business wants to impose “his” single operator to install equipment, data collection and processing. The situation with the system of Analytics interested in the Nizhny Novgorod community of lawyers. After studying the situation, they appealed against the decree of the Governor in the regional Prosecutor’s office of the Federal Antimonopoly service and Resotre��supervision. As told on his page on Facebook lawyer law firm YURSA Alexander Ustavschikov, according to the Civil code it is impossible to impose on the organizations Contracting and forcing this illegal. “No you can’t oblige to enter into a contract with a specific provider, for which the government is already pointing his finger, and paying for it later. Even if the broadcast cost a penny — it is a violation,” says Mr. Ustavschikov. According to him, the state should not shift the financial burden of monitoring compliance with the regime of isolation to the business. Importantly, the decree of the Governor violates the 23rd article of the Constitution on the inviolability of private life, the lawyer: “Often the work of beauty is very personal. The proposed action will logically cause more churn”. Therefore, the installation of cameras also violates article 24 of the Constitution on the protection of information as any unauthorised information intervention detract from the dignity of the human person, knowing that always somewhere there is a video with him, I am sure Alexander Ustavschikov. His colleague Olga Zinkova also said that the installation of cameras in beauty salons illegal and violates the right to privacy. “Besides, I believe that this decision is unreasonable and cannot help to fight the coronavirus,” said the lawyer. However, the government of the Nizhny Novgorod region continue to insist on the need to implement the system. There does not see any means of control violations, as employees of CPS “it is difficult to control the beauty”, while video Analytics allows you to do this online. The government has assured that data from the cameras will be sent to the server in a depersonalized form and is leaked, allegedly excluded. After the pandemic, the authorities propose to salons to use the equipment to monitor employees. According to the government, applications for connection to the system applied up to about a hundred stores, 25 of them have already started. For clarity, the Governor Nikitin on the eve of became one of them and hoped that “all those wishing to work will soon be able to do that with all the security measures.”Respondents ‘ b ‘ market participants have not heard about similar measures in other regions. The owner of beauty salons “Persona” Igor Stoyanov studied the video of the shearing of the Governor Gleb Nikitin on his page in Instagram. “We counted on the move several violations: the absence of Shoe covers, and the bare arms, the master, curtains, it is not clear that the armrests under the robe — it all goes against the recommendations of working during a pandemic on the epidemiology. From this we can conclude that this measure is more like a business project, and the control has no relation”— says Mr. Stoyanov. According to Igor Stoyanov, regional authorities are encouraging salons to install ten cameras in the object of 70 sq. m: “Now the cameras and so are many salons. In “Persona” two cameras at the entrance, over the counter and in the hall.”The founder of the nail network 4Hands Tatiana Shutova calls the idea of the state representatives from Nizhny Novgorod at least inappropriate: “All my salons and without it equipped with video surveillance. If openly declared for what it is, it would be possible at least to discuss. Forced to put redundant equipment now, in addition to the intent, that there would be some shadowing in the future, and other reasons, I do not see”— she insists. The installation of the required equipment in addition to cameras, according to estimates of the Ambassador of the Association of entrepreneurs of the beauty industry in the Nizhny Novgorod region Elena Pavlova, will cost each salon 350-400 thousand rubles. plus the monthly payment for services of the operator. Following the meeting on this issue at the Governor Gleb Nikitin, she reported that the majority of the industry has not agreed on the initiative of the head of the region, but he made the decision based on the opinions of all three members of the sector. Ms. Pavlova indicates that video surveillance is beyond the scope of orders of the Federal service, and subsidies for the installation of cameras in vain spent of taxpayers ‘ money, given the imminent weakening of the regime of self-isolation. “We need some specific goals in addition to monitoring our work for the month. It is much easier to provide all the air recyclers, thermometers and other remedies specified in the recommendations of the CPS. And we will work safely, and the authorities are confident that the situation is under control. After all responsible people, no one is going to create problems, people do business for decades and understand that you are responsible for violations of the money,”— said the Ambassador. It is also not clear how the system will be used after the pandemic, said Elena Pavlova. Its arguments is shared by colleagues from Vyksa, staged a spontaneous picket against the chambers with the requirements of the open saloons. However, part of Nizhny Novgorod businessmen did not share the concerns of colleagues, citing assurances from officials that the system is no different from traffic cameras and captures only the violation.Roman Ryskaliyev, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia; Nikita Sharenkov
