In Komi, teachers were ordered to pay 5 thousand rubles for a caricature of the head of the education department

The Ust-Kulomsky District Court of Komi ordered a school teacher in the village of Skorodum, Tatyana Chistaleva, to pay five thousand rubles in moral damages to the head of the district education department for publishing a cartoon against the reduction in hours of instruction in the language of the Komi people. This is reported by the publication "7 × 7".

At the end of August, Chistaleva published on VKontakte a cartoon with the face of Oksana Lebedeva, head of the Ust-Kulomsky District Education Department. The post has now been removed . As "7×7" writes, in the picture "a woman in the form of a seller offers a choice of English and German, and the buyer asks:" Komi kyv abu? ", which means" there is no Komi language? "". The cartoon, according to the teacher, is devoted to the introduction of learning a second foreign language to the detriment of other subjects, in particular the Komi language, which is allocated at least three hours a week.

Lebedeva, in her statement of claim, indicated that the cartoon caused her “moral harm, expressed in emotional unrest, worries, ridicule from others, colleagues,” as well as a negative impact on her business reputation. In addition to 50,000 rubles in compensation, the head of the department asked that the publication be declared invalid.

At the meeting, a representative of Lebedeva pointed out that the hours for studying Komi and other languages ​​had not yet changed at the Skorodum school. Chistaleva's defender Viktor Vorobyov told 7×7 that they did not explain at the meeting why the caricature is untrue and causes moral harm.
