The collection of signatures under this initiative took place on the initiative working group under the faction of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in the Moscow City Duma and the Coordinating Committee "Against the implementation of the UEC", which oppose law No. 210-FZ, but meanwhile advocate the adoption of the Federal Law on the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation in the form of a standard document without biometric data and electronic media. According to the Communists, the party is acting on President Vladimir Putin's promise that any initiative that collects at least 100,000 signatures will be submitted to the Duma as a matter of priority.
It is worth noting that the history of the release of a "multifunctional" universal electronic card has been going on for more than a year. A pilot project to issue these cards with a budget of 150 billion rubles was launched in Russia back in 2010.
At that time, according to the developers of the "electronic miracle", the ID-card should have become an indispensable attribute of every Russian over the age of 14, and would be useful for all occasions, a kind of alternative, familiar, for example, to Moscow pensioners as the "Moskvich Social Card" only with great opportunities. It was planned to store all information about the owner on the card: insurance policy, pension certificate, social and bank cards, and even, ticket for all types of urban transport. Moreover, they were going to make electronic innovation marital status, data on property and blood type - if God forbid, trouble will happen to a person.
In some regions, in addition to standard services We also tried to place additional functions on the maps. For example, on electronic cards in the Krasnodar Territory, it was proposed to introduce an application with which you can pay utilities, traffic police fines and public transport. In the Astrakhan region, with the help of the UEC, to introduce a system for monitoring school attendance, paying for meals in the canteen and receiving library literature for children.
Despite the pilot launch in individual regions of the Russian Federation, the idea of ​​providing the population with electronic cards all over Russia has not yet been implemented. Among the reasons for the postponement of the issuance of cards were various problems. These are the difficulties associated with the requirement of the federal authorities that the UEC has a domestic chip, and that there is a search for certified specialists - developers. Also, information appeared in the media that the government had almost halved state funding for the project and decided to transfer responsibility for its implementation to commercial banks. Then the State Duma, in turn, passed a law according to which the issuance of ID-cards was postponed from 2012 to 2013. Now, the start date for the mandatory issuance of a universal electronic card to Russians, which, combined with an identity card, has been postponed for another year from 2014 to 2015 And it is assumed that in 2015 UEC will replace electronic passports, which will be able to have the same advanced features. The validity period of such an electronic card is designed for 10 years, during this period internal passports will still be valid, and the Federal Migration Service will issue new passports in the form of cards.
“Two months ago, the Communist Party faction submitted to the State Duma a bill on a paper passport. We believe that there should be no chips, no machine readable records. Everything should be simple and clear, only the surname, patronymic, year of birth, blood type and, possibly, religion, ”the State Duma deputy and the main developer of the bill“ On the passport of a citizen Russian Federation» Vladimir Fedotkin .
“What frightens me most of all is that on a small piece of plastic you can write not only the name, surname and patronymic of a person, but also his whole fate. Who will use this information and for what - these are unanswered questions,” he said.
It is worth noting that a few years ago, adopted on March 9, 2011, the law of Moscow "On the universal electronic card" caused discontent among the most different categories citizens. The prospect of being “under the hood” of Muscovite officials did not please. So after the adoption of the law "On the Universal Electronic Card" the city parliament received up to 10 thousand appeals against the introduction of UEC - services. AT State Duma More than 10,000 such appeals have been recorded. Muscovites have repeatedly staged protests in front of the city hall and on Pushkinskaya Square. At that time, almost 38% of citizens opposed having their personal data under control. What was it connected with?
The situation with the protection of personal data in our country is too far from perfect, you will not surprise anyone with another “scandalous” story with the sale of a database on the market. Not surprisingly, the law provoked a negative reaction from Muscovites. Even at the Nuremberg trials, it was established that assigning depersonalizing numbers to people is a crime that does not have a statute of limitations, - notes the deputy of the city parliament Andrei Klychkov, - it turns out that each person is assigned a number, and with one button you can turn it off from all services and delete it from history . Therefore, today we are together with public organizations we oppose the introduction of digital media, for the preservation of the validity of the passport and for the abolition of the 210th federal law»
Characteristically, in a number of countries, in particular in South Korea, China, Germany and England, the experience of issuing electronic cards proved to be untenable, and due to the inability to ensure the security of personal data, these services were suspended and canceled.

“Secularization under the guise of democratization actually released in the European superstate, which is the cultural heir to the Roman Empire, a colossal energy of subjugation by power. This ebullient en Hergia today seeks to finally break with Christianity, which has held back its totalitarian impulses for seventeen centuries,” said Metropolitan Hilarion, head of the Synodal Department for External Church Relations, speaking at the Pontifical Theological Faculty of Southern Italy in the suburbs of Naples. It is reported by Interfax-Religion.

AT As a result, as the archpastor noted, this energy unconsciously strives for the establishment of "absolute dictatorship, which will require the establishment of complete control over every member of society."

“Isn’t this what we are going for, “for security purposes” agreeing to mandatory introduction electronic passports, universal fingerprinting and widespread planting of cameras? After all, all this can be easily used for other purposes, which can also be attributed to “increased security measures,” he said.

According to the metropolitan, today in Western countries destructive freedom from moral principles, universal values ​​is proclaimed, instead of respect for the feelings of other people, "it preaches permissiveness, ignoring the beliefs and values ​​of the majority", affirms the principle of uncontrollable satisfaction of human passions and vices.

“The aggressive mood of such a falsely understood freedom brings it closer to the totalitarianism of the era of persecution (against the first Christians - “IF”) and the atheism of the 20th century. "Totalitarian freedom" based on human passions brings us back to the time of the pagans, albeit in a more crafty and sophisticated form," he said.

According to the representative of the Church, "militant atheism, often in the most ugly and grotesque forms, has again raised its head and boldly declared itself in the vastness of Europe."

“And now we see buses driving around London with the inscriptions “There is no God, enjoy life” or “You are gay, be proud of it.” We hear about how in Paris a demonstration of supporters of traditional family values ​​who do not want same-sex couples to adopt children is dispersed with batons and tear gas. We are witnessing how blasphemers appear on the pulpit of the main temple of Moscow, with their actions causing the approval of a certain part of society, and how then a similar action is played out in Notre Dame in Paris, ”he stated.

Reference.

The issuance of electronic identity cards will begin in 2016. Until 2025, Russians will use both electronic and paper passports. The complete replacement of documents in their current format should be completed in 2030. The electronic card will contain a photograph, first name, last name and patronymic, information with an address on a special chip, TIN, insurance number, digital signature, and a place for fingerprints.

Anyone who does not apply with a written refusal from the UEC to the relevant authorities before January 1, 2015, such a document will be issued automatically.

A campaign against the project developed by the FMS of the Russian Federation has begun in the Orthodox media and the Internet.

From some well-known human rights activists there are statements about the start of mass extradition e-passport to all citizens of Russia since January 2015 on the basis of this Decree. Citizens once again experienced shock and call lawyers with the question: “How to refuse an electronic passport, prevent the adoption of the Decree?”. Let's first deal with the content of the draft Presidential Decree and study the situation as a whole.

Seeing the active rejection by society of an electronic passport, the creation of electronic databases of personal data on all Russian citizens, which include all the information about each of us, the FMS of the Russian Federation is trying to transfer the initiative and responsibility to the President of the Russian Federation. For this purpose, a draft Decree of the President of the Russian Federation "On the issuance and use of a new generation identity card of a citizen of the Russian Federation" has been prepared. Modernizers rely on the increased authority and high rating of the President in connection with his decisive and competent actions on the issue of annexing Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. The Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation is trying to use this authority as a lever to move towards its cherished goal.

Before the adoption of the federal law on the main document, the FMS is in a hurry to introduce 300,000 electronic identity cards on a trial basis. The draft Decree provides for the issuance from January 1, 2015 of the main identity document in the form of a plastic card with an electronic storage medium containing personal data of a citizen in electronic and graphic form, including biometric data, as well as means and keys of electronic signatures.

Without thinking about possible negative consequences, the FMS proposes to issue electronic certificates in the Republic of Crimea, the city of Sevastopol, as well as in the Krasnodar Territory and the Rostov Region. For the experiment, thoughtlessly, and perhaps deliberately, regions were chosen where the political and economic situation is under the gun of openly hostile Ukraine, which claims to the Crimea and Sevastopol, as well as the European Union and the United States. These, so to speak, “partners” have set a fraternal state against Russia, they feed it financially, they support informationally and politically the actions of the Ukrainian authorities that contradict the Constitution of Ukraine and international law. Europe and the United States are trying to put pressure on Russia through sanctions, misinform the world community about the events in Ukraine, and groundlessly accuse our country of interfering in the affairs of Ukraine. Despite the display of restraint, adherence to norms international law, compliance with all agreements and treaties on the part of Russia, the actions of Ukraine, the European Union and the United States clearly demonstrate their attitude towards confrontation with our country.

History shows that tensions between countries and international alliances tend to defuse in the form of military conflicts. There are no guarantees against such a development of events in the current political situation. This obliges us to take precautions, the need for increased security measures in regions that, even theoretically, can become hotbeds of military conflicts. Issuance to the public electronic documents, the creation of electronic databases of personal data on their own population is dangerous in any region of the state. The introduction of electronic identity cards entails the creation unified registry documents proving the identity, provided for by the draft Federal Law "On the main document proving the identity of a citizen of the Russian Federation" and the draft Federal Law "On state register basic documents proving the identity of a citizen of the Russian Federation. The specified registry must contain all information about the person, including biometric data. There are no exceptions for military personnel and members of their families.

An electronic database of personal data on military personnel and their families is a huge help for any forces in the fight against Russia. However, such a simple conclusion, which any sane person will draw, is apparently inaccessible to those who are in a hurry to fulfill international obligations given in a different political situation and dangerous for the country at the present time. Another ill-considered step towards the fulfillment of dangerous obligations is the electronic cards of military personnel. Since 2014, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have begun the introduction of personal electronic cards of a serviceman (conscript). These innovations cause justified concern among military personnel and their families. Danger electronic accounting personal data is understood not only by citizens, but also by sober-minded and competent authorities.

Deputy of the Moscow Regional Duma, Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Transport Infrastructure, Communications and Informatization S.I. Zinina sent an appeal to the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation (No. 4-538-100 dated April 26, 2014), in which she pointed out the danger of introducing electronic cards for military personnel: “... There are fears that with the introduction of an electronic passport for a conscript, specific information about military personnel, including their location , may be at the disposal of non-core structures, including commercial and foreign ones, involved in the production of "chips", tracking equipment, software and computer support ... ... Domestic military experts, specialists in the field of electronic technologies unanimously claim that "chipization" personnel of the Armed Forces, is a very reckless step, allowing to seize control over our army by the secret services of states hostile to us, which have a sufficiently developed material and technical base for this. At the same time, no, even the most modern advanced protection tools can eliminate such threats. Why waste Russia's resources and funds by putting at stake (in the literal and figurative sense of the word) the defense capability of our country and the lives of its defenders?

Due to the fact that the issue of issuing electronic cards for servicemen of the Russian Army is not only of a military nature, but also of a social and political nature, and the use of electronic cards with chips can cause significant harm to the country and its citizens, I ask you to stop the introduction of the draftee’s electronic passport.” Reasonable warnings went unheeded. From the answer to the deputy S.I. Zinina of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, it clearly follows that the forces promoting Russia into a world supranational state controlled from a single electronic center, is not afraid of the loss of the sovereignty of the country and the threat to the security of its citizens. Electronic cards of military personnel are only an element of a single plan for “electronization of the entire population of Russia”. This does not even require special federal laws.

The response of the General Staff of the Russian Federation (No. 315/4/2390 dated May 21, 2014) to the deputy’s appeal openly states that the introduction of electronic cards for military personnel is carried out in pursuance of Federal Law No. 210 “On the organization of the provision of state and municipal services". This law introduces a universal electronic card (UEC), on the basis of which all citizens get access to electronic services. This law provides for the right to refuse to receive UEC. Its receipt is not mandatory, which is expressly provided for in Article 26 of the Federal Law No. 210. However, the provision of this article in relation to conscripts was ignored. The content of Federal Law No. 210 has nothing to do with the defense of the country and the issues of documenting military personnel. The law does not contain provisions obliging military personnel to obtain an electronic card. The issuance of documents to military personnel and their form should be determined by the Ministry of Defense and carried out by its departments. Forms of documents of military personnel must first of all meet the interests of the national security of the state and its armed forces. But for experimenters, the momentary and, moreover, very illusory profit from the sale is in the first place. electronic services. For the sake of profit, you can sacrifice both national security and the security of military personnel. In addition, the issuance of electronic cards to conscripts is another brick in the construction e-government”, as well as a demonstration of the fulfillment of obligations and the timing of the transfer of the activities of all bodies to a “transparent electronic form”, stipulated in international treaties.
