Criminal law restrictions on the implementation of freedom of speech in Russia
The article provides an analysis of the Criminal code of the Russian Federation in order to establish the right to restrict the constitutional right of Russian citizens to freedom of speech contained in it. The author comes to the conclusion that criminal acts, to achieve the goal of which the subjects of their implementation apply freedom of speech in one expression or another, are diverse and cause significant harm to the individual, society and the state. That is why the limitation of this freedom by the state under the threat of criminal liability and criminal penalties deserves a positive assessment.
