On Thursday, the State Duma committee on the federal structure adopted amendments, according to which the officials have to be accountable for their actions in social networks. Amendments were accompanied by a government bill introducing additional qualification requirements for a civil state and municipal employees. The authors of the amendments made by United Russia, Vladimir Burmatov and a representative of the Liberal Democratic Party, Andrei Lugovoi.
According to the document proposed to the second reading, civil servants each year will provide information about Internet resources, blogs or social networks, where they placed any publicly information. For those who just want to get the civil service have to prepare a preliminary report on the social networks, which covers the last three years. If officials refuse to provide this information, they will be threatened with dismissal.
Using pseudonyms is actually prohibited, too. Under the proposed rules, public servants will have to provide all the data, “allowing them to be identified.” In addition, the bosses have the right to authorize the verification of completeness of this information.
Initially Burmatov Lugovoi and suggested to limit officials in social networks as part of a separate bill introduced in the beginning of May. However, he remained without consideration. As explained “Gazeta.ru” Burmatov in time to realize his idea to the end of the session, he and Lugovoi decided to offer it as an amendment to another bill. He, in turn, initially did not touch the Internet, and proposed to introduce additional requirements to the formation of municipal and civil servants.
The document suggested that the mandatory level of higher education will be introduced for certain groups of officials not below the graduate or Speciality. In addition, a variety of positions in the civil service will require certificates of different specialties.
The amendments on social networks “have not lowered the conceptual significance” of the document, he added “Gazety.Ru”. The Committee expects that the bill will be considered in the second reading on Wednesday next, June 22.
Camouflaged amendment According Burmatova for action reports in the social media will help to calculate the business lobbyists who are trying to ” wormed “into the ranks of civil servants. “I see this as a way to identify conflicts of interest. Man all his life, for example, in business and in close relations with lobby groups are constantly involved in their activities. And then comes the municipal and public service and starts to distribute state funds, – said the source “Gazety.Ru”. – It is better to know in advance about these facts of his biography »
In addition, according to him, in recent years, the cases, when the social networks recent officials detected” improper conduct “. laid before joining the civil service. For example, photographs, where people “are not quite sober or undressed».
When these facts were opened public under attack turned out to be the regime’s authority.
Now, state agencies will be able to know in advance of discrediting information before hiring a new employee

By the way, according to the proposed amendments, if a civil servant to place any post or photo with the restriction “only for friends”, it too will be considered public information, for which it will be necessary to report.
Protecting your idea, the MP from the “United Russia “assures us: according to statistics, in the US 40% of the institutions require their employees to disclose accounts to be able to keep track of personal correspondence of its employees
according to Rosstat, at the end of 2015, government and local government work. 2 million 176 thousand. man. All of them will affect the bill.
Liberty for the official
Political analyst Nikolai Mironov believes that if the amendments are adopted, their interpretation can be easily expanded. “Restrictions on the social networks can start typing for teachers, doctors and other public sector employees. There is not even need a law. It is enough to make such demands on internal regulations “, -. Said the source” Gazety.Ru »
The expert thinks that the bill aims to cut someone from the civil service. In principle, the officials and do not aspire to great publicity, and think twice before you write any post to social networks. However, this creates an additional “climate of fear” for them, Mironov said. In fact, they have to inform on themselves.
«Now that the civil servant would want to put a photo from a holiday, where it on the beach, this same picture he will have to show his superiors. It’s just embarrassing! “- The expert added
Officials will not know for what they can get from the authorities, and for that -. No. The norms of the law are not spelled out some requirements for the posts. Mironov believes that such a rule violates Article 51 of the Constitution, according to which no one is obliged to testify against himself.
«It covers state structures for people who can not remain silent. Or just not willing to part with a certain degree of freedom “- the expert added. In government agencies will be an additional “safety lock”, which will control officials if they suddenly want to share negative experiences from the service or to disclose features of their work.
Messages officials in social networks are not just caused scandals. One of the most striking -. Post to Facebook Vasily Anisimov, head of the administration information Resort District of St. Petersburg, in November last year
Then he called grieving over the accident Airbus A321 in Egypt “blunt shit. ” He later apologized and was forced to resign.
In 2014, Deputy Finance Minister Sergei Belyakov was forced to resign because of the apology , which he brought to Facebook. “I am ashamed of the decision to extend the moratorium on investing NPF (non-state pension funds -.” Times “), – he wrote. – I’m all for forgiveness for the stupidity that we do, and what we do not value our word »
Sergei Kapkov during his tenure as head of the Department of Culture of Moscow has made its social network into a powerful engine of personal political. career. Largely due to the active use of Facebook, he has earned the image of “advanced” the official, who hears the aspirations of the urban middle class, mostly opposition than other social groups in Russia. Care Kapkova from the post last year was also accompanied by a debate in the social networks, where this fact, many interpreted as yet another proof of the “crackdown” in the country

Finally, in January, the scandal caused controversy in social networks between the deputy of the City Council of Krasnoyarsk Konstantin Senchenko and the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov. First I wrote a post in Facebook, criticizing Kadyrov for what he called the representatives of the non-system parties “enemies of the people.” After the Chechen leader Instagram posted a video where Senchenko admits that he was wrong. “I accept”, – Kadyrov has signed a video
However, the amendments that offer Burmatov and Lugovoi, prevent conflicts of this level will be unable to.. Neither deputies nor the senior officials from the legal point of view, officials are not. . This elected office
Secret accounts
Associate Professor RANHiGS Ekaterina Shulman believes the proposed amendments – a measure of “generally harmless, although senseless»
«It clearly. copied from the western corporate standards. Another question that we have put it into law, it would be logical to introduce such rules in the employment contracts, – says interlocutor “Gazety.Ru”. – You can be afraid of a serious increase workflow, and hence the associated costs. Especially at the regional and municipal levels, where similar rules will be introduced there. Electronic document it distributed less than paper »
According to the expert, the purpose of these rules with the government’s point of view -. Not so much to establish total surveillance, how to prevent public scandals. Next time, when officials want porezche speak in social networks or post a photo of your holiday on the background of palm trees and yachts, he first thinks.
In this case, the state is unlikely to have enough opportunities to track down the secret accounts of officials, says Shulman.
«It is unlikely that someone would specifically look for these records sealed or hidden accounts. Not to friends as specifically introduced to them under cover. In general, it is difficult to see who will carry out validation of civil servants about their online life reports. Personnel departments departments and administrations? Appropriate management of FSB “- says Shulman
