“I am sure that many Heroes of Russia are fully able to defend their honor and dignity on their own.
However, if we are talking about the criminal law protection of the very status of the Hero - a person who has committed an unparalleled feat at the risk of life, then in this case the state may initiate criminal prosecution of persons who insulted the Hero in connection with his status, accomplished feat or service to society and the state ", says the lawyer.
At the same time, in his opinion, everyday, labor, economic, financial and other private issues "should not be considered as an object of encroachment."
Earlier, MP Khamzaev proposed introducing criminal liability for insulting the Heroes of Russia.
