Roskomnadzor will inspect their own employees in the Far Eastern Federal District

    The central apparatus of the ILV initiates verification of its own employees from the branch in the DFO. Based on the context, the central office saw in the decisions of the branch in the FEFD arbitrariness in the interpretation of the “law on personal data” and disobeying the decisions of the central apparatus.

    The essence of the conflict


    According to the information on the site office:
    In December 2015, the Office of Roskomnadzor for the DFO received a request from the editorial office of the electronic publication Debry DV for the possibility of publishing lists of persons participating in combat battles of the Great Patriotic War buried in Poland and Germany, indicating their personal information and information about close relatives with the purpose of finding these relatives for the delivery of certificates of memory.

    However, officials from the Far Eastern branch made a very strange decision.

    On the above request from the editorial office of Debry DV, referring to the Personal Data Law, the following answer was given: they cannot allow the personal data of the victims to be disclosed without the consent of their heirs . Based on the fact that more than seventy years have passed since the fighting, the Far Eastern branch of the RKN "hacked to the ground" a harmless memorial-patriotic initiative.

    Self-justice as it is


    The situation is also aggravated by the fact that by the 70th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War throughout the country various memorial and patriotic projects were launched, such as Living Memory, Memorial and others. Back in 2015, the central apparatus expressed its opinion on the disclosure of data from soldiers of the Soviet army and other combatants. It consisted in the fact that the PKN did not see any crime in such initiatives, i.e. to the data of the "memorial" nature of the "Law on Personal Data" is considered inapplicable .

    Roskomnadzor unequivocally interprets as an inalienable right to publish lists of participants in combat battles of the Great Patriotic War and any other wars of the past without any additional coordination.

    It is separately specified that this decision of the Central Committee of Roskomnadzor was communicated to the regions at meetings on video communications.
