He recalled that the dignity of the person protected by the state.

However, achieving through the courts for the recognition of information about themselves false and defamatory, the citizen is still faced with the fact that information continues to spread.

All I can do bailiffs — to issue very few people frightening fines of up to 2.5 thousand rubles.
