Some people just make reposts of information published mostly in social networks and as a consequence bear criminal liability because technically under current Russian law it is dissemination of prohibited information. Russian Kremlin upheld this idea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">According to the proposal of Russian deputies, the criminal liability is excluded for actions or deeds if they were targeted to arousal of hate or enmity, or they were targeted to humiliation of human dignity or group of persons in case if such actions or deeds are not linked with application of violence, were not committed by organised group of persons and for commitment of such deeds or actions the official position has been not used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The press secretary of Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, has clarified that \u201cthe prosecution for such information should not take hypertrophic forms\u201d. \u201cThe formalistic approach is not appropriate when it takes hypertrophic forms. It is necessary to regulate. But it does not mean that it is appropriate to contribute dissemination of such information, it is necessary to protect citizens from cases, which if are not curious, but are resonant,\u201d \u2013 he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The Russian ministry of communication has also upheld the legislative proposal. \u201cWe unambiguously uphold the initiative of Russian deputies. It is what concerns decriminalization,\u201d \u2013 said the representative of MinCom.
