On human rights Lukin. Vladimir Lukin leaves the post of Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation. Commissioner for Human Rights

According to Interfax-Religion, the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation, Vladimir Lukin, said: “A certain increase in complaints is due to the fact that some citizens who are active in religious terms express their dissatisfaction electronic document management. They identify strange combinations of numbers that, in their opinion, mean something,” V. Lukin said at a press conference at Interfax, commenting on the results of his work in 2010.

At the same time, the Ombudsman suggested that the filing of complaints of this kind could be purposefully organized by someone. “Such complaints are filed in an organized manner. It feels like they are being written as a carbon copy,” he said.

Naturally, the complaints are drawn up according to a certain pattern, but the point is not that, but the fact that a lot of people do not want to accept electronic documents. And the reasons why they refuse to do this are not strange at all, but quite common sense and valid. They are argued in the complaints. Anti-Christian symbols, in particular the number 666 contained in electronic documents, as well as the possibility of total control over the individual, make it impossible for Orthodox Christians to use these identity cards. In their struggle, believers are based on the Revelation of the Holy Apostle John the Theologian, who writes about the Antichrist: And he will make sure that everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, will receive a mark on right hand them or on their foreheads, and that no one will be able to buy or sell except the one who has the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. He who has intelligence, count the number of the beast, for it is a human number; its number is six hundred and sixty-six.(Rev. 13, 16-18).

Orthodox Christians are asking the Human Rights Ombudsman to help them defend their legal right to live in accordance with their faith. But, as can be seen from Vladimir Lukin’s answer, he does not want to do this, because... Russian folk proverb says: “Whoever wants, looks for an opportunity, and whoever doesn’t want, looks for a reason.” From Lukin’s words it is clear that he is busy looking for some valid reason to refuse help to Orthodox Christians.

Because in other cases, for example, in the issue of the Bogolyubsky Monastery, when the order and organization of provocation against Elder Peter and the nuns was obvious, Lukin did not express doubts about the veracity of false facts, the falsity of which has now been officially proven, but joined the slanderers of the monastery. He also raised his voice in defense of the rights of blasphemers-Satanists who offended the feelings of Orthodox Christians with their blasphemous antics and works. But he does not want to protect believers. Apparently, Orthodox Christians are second-class citizens for him. But then we will have to talk about the violation of the rights of Orthodox Christians by the “human rights activists” themselves.

Be that as it may, it can already be stated that there are double standards in the activities of Ombudsman Lukin, his dislike for Orthodox Church and the Orthodox people, unwillingness to fulfill their duties to protect the legal rights of believers.

MOSCOW, February 18. /ITAR-TASS/. After ten years of work as Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation, Vladimir Lukin is leaving his post - on February 18, his statutory term of office formally expires. And on the same day, the State Duma, whose competence includes approving the ombudsman, completes the collection of applications for candidates for this position. Deputies must name the new commissioner within a month.

Vladimir Lukin was first appointed Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation by a State Duma resolution of February 13, 2004, and on February 18, 2009 he was appointed to this position for a second five-year term. According to the law, the same person cannot hold this post for more than two terms.

Summing up the results of his work, Lukin admits that he leaves with “a feeling of gratitude to fate.” “Despite the fact that for ten years I was faced with human dramas, tragedies, terrible injustice every day, I still took a bright feeling from my work, especially since in some cases I was able to help people,” he said earlier in an interview "Rossiyskaya Gazeta".

What exactly the former ombudsman will do now is still unknown. In particular, Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with Lukin, expressed the hope that he will continue to work for the benefit of society. “Vladimir Petrovich has very good experience in this position... good experience as a diplomat, after all, he was the Russian ambassador to the United States, and in the political sphere: he is one of the founders of the Yabloko party. Therefore, I would like to use all this together. Maybe keeping in mind some international aspect. But we’ll think about it later,” the head of state said.

Who can become the new ombudsman?

According to the law, candidates for the post of Russian Ombudsman can be submitted to the State Duma by the President of the Russian Federation, the Federation Council, factions and deputies of the lower house. The Commissioner is appointed and dismissed by the State Duma by a majority vote of the total number of deputies by secret ballot.

It is too early to name the future ombudsman, but with a significant degree of confidence we can say that it will be the chairman of the all-Russian public movement “Civic Dignity” Ella Pamfilova. Her candidacy was submitted to the State Duma on February 13 by Vladimir Putin, who previously discussed her nomination with human rights activists, including Vladimir Lukin.

Pamfilova's support has already been announced in the Federation Council, the Public Chamber, as well as Duma factions." Just Russia" and "United Russia". In particular, United Russia members, who nominated deputies Pavel Krasheninnikov and Nikolai Bulaev for this post, intend to withdraw their candidacies and vote for Pamfilova.

Meanwhile, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the Liberal Democratic Party will support their representatives. The Liberal Democrats said earlier that they would vote for MP Elena Afanasyeva. And on February 13, the Communists nominated Oleg Smolin, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Education, to the post of authorized representative.

Ella Pamfilova, in an interview with ITAR-TASS, said that if she is confirmed as an ombudsman, she intends to “deal with both systemic issues of protecting human rights and solving specific issues that citizens will address.” At the same time, she called “compliance with the Constitution” the most important priority in the commissioner’s work, emphasizing that she intends to work “in collaboration with everyone who is interested in protecting human rights.”
