Doctor and TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov appreciated the proposal of the Parliament of the Chechen Republic to prohibit indicating the nationality of criminals in the media. In a post posted in Telegram, the doctor wrote that the draft law on the indication of the nationality of the attackers has many strengths, but there are also weaknesses.
“We all know for sure:“ the criminals have no nationality, ”“ everyone is equal before the law, ”“ there is no need to incite ethnic hatred, ”and so on. I completely agree with this, ”said the TV presenter. The doctor added that if asked to speak out unequivocally for this idea or against it, he would choose the first option.
The doctor noted that in Russia there are stable national diasporas that have a strong influence on their representatives. Such groups, Myasnikov considered, are the least interested in the illegal acts of their members and damage to the reputation of their other representatives.
“Look at the Chechens. Have you really heard a lot of negative things about them in this sense in recent years? Nobody will allow them to smear their national honor with hooliganism, we all know how R. Kadyrov (head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov – approx. “Lenta.ru”) reacts harshly and fairly, “wrote the doctor. Myasnikov expressed confidence that the rest of the diasporas should act in the same way.
At the same time, the physician said that the most terrible condemnation is criticism from “insiders”. “But if the media keep silent [национальность нарушителя]then how will such antics get the publicity and condemnation? Will the police work with the heads of the diasporas? Well, probably, ”concluded the doctor.
Earlier it became known that the parliament of Chechnya submitted to the State Duma an initiative to ban mention in the media the nationality and religion of Russians who violated the law. The authors of the bill referred to provocative materials in social networks and the media, which, in their opinion, form a negative attitude towards ethnic groups. It was proposed to amend the law “On mass media” and the administrative code.
