During the discussion of bills on the transfer of part 1 of Article 282 of the Criminal Code to the Code of Administrative Offenses (excitement of hatred or enmity without additional qualifying features), a proposal was not completely expressed to decriminalize this norm. Such information is transmitted by Interfax with reference to an unnamed source, aware of the preparation of the document for consideration in the first reading.
"Most likely, the concept of administrative prejudice will be introduced into the bill when the first offense is provided for administrative liability, and criminal for the subsequent offenses," the agency’s interlocutor said.
Thus, he explained, "unintentional, random actions of Internet users will not fall under criminal articles."
One of the authors of the bills, a deputy from the Communist Party Sergei Shargunov, noticed the agency that he did not mind the proposed amendment. “Even in this form, it would be nice, of course,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Duma Committee on Legislation, Unenos, Pavel Krasheninnikov, said that until the end of the current session, the bill in the committee will not be considered.
A package of bills was submitted to the State Duma on June 25 . Together with the Shargunov author of the initiatives, an non -capacity deputy, the leader of the Rodina party, Alexei Zhuravlev, performed; On the 26th, the communist Oleg Smolin joined the initiators.
The first bill excludes from the Criminal Code of part 1 of Article 282. The new version of the article proposed by the authors of the document provides for liability only if there are additional qualifying features: the use of violence or the threat of one, the commission using an official position or as part of an organized group (points, respectively “A”, “B” and “in” part 2 of the current version of the article). It is proposed to leave sanctions on these accusations the same - from 3 to 6 years in the colony.
The second bill introduces Article 20.3.1 to the Code of Administrative Offenses, the disposition of which complies with the disposition of the current part 1 of Article 282 of the Criminal Code. The new norm provides for 10 to 20 thousand rubles of a fine, up to 100 hours of compulsory work or up to 15 days of arrest.
On June 7, Shargunov, during a direct line with Vladimir Putin, stated that in some cases, the application of Article 282 of the Criminal Code "comes literally to insanity." “If you literally perceive the 282nd article of the Criminal Code, then it is necessary to posthumously condemn Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Mayakovsky, and their works should be seized,” he remarked. In response, Putin promised to analyze the law enforcement of an article with the participation of the All -Russian Popular Front and the Supreme Court.
