The Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Presidential Administration and the Russian Guard are deprived of official websites

The Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Presidential Administration and the Russian Guard are deprived of official websites
The law came into force in 2010 "On ensuring access to information on the activities of state bodies and local governments", to which all these bodies were charged with the duty to have their own website, and not a simple one, but an official one.

I can illustrate the degree of readiness of officials at that time to implement the law with the following episode: in the summer of 2009, I had a chance to speak before a meeting of the chief informatization officers from all the municipalities of one far from backward region, casually mentioned the impending law, and the reaction of the hall was unanimous: what kind of law?!

So, with the advent of 2010, we decided to check who at least of the federal officials are aware of the requirements of the law, which of the federal authorities have official sites? It turned out that 88 out of 89 bodies simply have websites, but only 62 have official ones.

What is the difference? And here's the thing: the law requires that the domain name of the official site be administered by a government agency or local government. Not necessarily the same one whose website, at least some village council, if only not a left-wing office, and even more so an individual, like a third of those surveyed.

Now readers may be tempted to reproach me with casuistry, but do not rush, let's consider this case: we have the right without SMS, registration and altercations with the duty officer file a police report remotelyThrough official Ministry of the Interior website. The application will be automatically registered, assigned to the KUSP, they will be obliged to start working on it ... But no, stop, they are not obliged: all regulatory legal acts on this matter operate with the concept of “official site”, and the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not official. Where and to whom you filed an appeal - I don’t know where they got this KUSP - I don’t know, stomp your feet to the nearest police station and write a statement on paper there, and then seek to be accepted and registered as expected.

In general, they revealed this whole unsightly picture, published a report, a wave arose in the media, some journalists, out of some fright, declared that “The President’s website is not official”, although it just met the criteria of officiality, the departments realized it and began to officialize their websites, but not all of them ...

There was a long correspondence with the Prosecutor General's Office, which tried to blame its work on the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications, which rightly kicked back ... Along the way, a number of departments voiced their interpretation of the requirements of the law, which boils down to: we are so comfortable and do not sway. By the end of the year, out of 26 dodgers, 9 remained, and, frankly, we stopped monitoring the process. As it turned out, in vain ...

It's been 10 years we again checked the websites of government agencies for compliance with the criterion of officiality and - ta-da! - three of them have unofficial websites, and if the National Guard can still be understood: the department is new, the website is fresh, you can’t keep track of everything at once, then the Ministry of Internal Affairs is an honorary dodger with ten years of experience. And the Presidential Administration is a defector: 10 years ago they themselves administered the domain of their site, today for some reason they transferred this function to the subordinate Federal State Unitary Enterprise.

Again they wrote to the Prosecutor General's Office; I wonder who this time he will try to push his work, which is directly indicated in the law as the duty of the prosecutor's office ... But still, progress: 3 unofficial sites are no longer 26.
