Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council

A.P. Torshin

presiding. Dear colleagues, we continue the meeting. Item 26 of the agenda - on the Federal Law "On Amendments to the Federal Law "On the Days of Military Glory (Victorious Days) of Russia". Speaker - Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security Popov Vyacheslav Alekseevich. Please, Vyacheslav Alekseevich.

Popov V.A., Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security, representative in the Federation Council from the Murmansk Regional Duma.

Dear Alexander Porfiryevich, dear colleagues! The Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security considered, in accordance with Articles 105 and 106 of the Regulations of the Federation Council, the Federal Law "On Amendments to the Federal Law "On the Days of Military Glory (Victory Days) of Russia", adopted by the State Duma on July 6 this year.

In accordance with Article 106 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Federal Law "On Amendments to the Federal Law "On the Days of Military Glory (Victorious Days) of Russia" is subject to mandatory consideration in the Federation Council. The law supplements the current Federal Law of March 13, 1995 No. 32-FZ " On the days of military glory (victory days) of Russia" in the article "Memorable dates of Russia".

The name of the federal law and the preamble to it have been changed taking into account the said addendum. The law began to be called "On the days of military glory and memorable dates in Russia."

During the consideration of the law, the study of the law, its consideration by the committee, discussions with colleagues in the Federation Council, a discussion arose on two positions: regarding September 3, the Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism. There was an opinion to change it to the Day of Remembrance of the Victims ... I believe that the "Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism" is a broader, generalizing and uniting nation wording, and, from my point of view and in the opinion of the committee, the name should be kept in this form.

Regarding January 25, the Day of Russian Students, there were different opinions. Let me remind you that January 25 is not just Tatyana's Day and not just Students' Day, it is the date of the creation of the first university in Russia by decree of the Empress. I think that this date, this event is difficult to overestimate for any state, and for ours in particular.

Based on the foregoing, the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security adopted a unanimous decision to recommend to the Federation Council to approve the Federal Law "On Amendments to the Federal Law "On the Days of Military Glory (Victory Days) of Russia", adopted by the State Duma.

Please support the committee's decision.

presiding. Thanks a lot.

Please questions.

Oleg Evgenievich, a question? Performance. Valery Klavdievich Bykov, a question? Please.

Bykov V.K., member of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security, representative in the Federation Council from the administration of the Kamchatka region.

Vyacheslav Alekseevich, please tell me, what do you think, is it worthy that the day of September 3 - the day of the end, one might say, of the Second World War and the victory of the Soviet people over militaristic Japan, was considered a sacred day for us, or not?

Popov V.A.I believe that this is a worthy day and it deserves to be listed in memorable dates.

Bykov V.K.Why isn't he here?

Popov V.A.I think that this question should be asked to those who developed this law. We are considering the law that came to us.

Bykov V.K. Thank you.

presiding. Thanks a lot. Vladimir Konstantinovich Plotnikov, do you have a question? Please.

Plotnikov V.K.Dear Vyacheslav Alekseevich, now we have dates divided into two categories. Commemorative dates of Russia appeared. And here, in my opinion, it is absolutely fair, in the new edition, in Article 5, it is said that in connection with the established memorable dates, public events can be held at the initiative of state organizations and public associations. But the text of Article 6 refers to financing.

Wouldn't it be more correct to introduce a rule that the one who initiated the event related to memorable dates finances it? Let's say we have a memorable date - the Day of the October Revolution. Perhaps the Communist Party will initiate some activities. And why should they be paid from the federal, or regional, or municipal budgets? Wouldn't it be more correct to divide the funding by the initiators?

Popov V.A.Thanks for the question. I understand that you are interested in my personal opinion.

Plotnikov V.K.Your personal opinion, as well as the opinion of your committee, if it was on this issue.

Popov V.A.The issue was not discussed at the committee meeting in this way. I can express my personal opinion, I have it on this issue.

The approach that, in particular, November 7 is mentioned ... You can take any other date.

Plotnikov V.K.Of course, I just gave an example.

Popov V.A.Mentioned on November 7, and on this example I will express my opinion, since you are so interested.

From my personal point of view, if November 7 is given to finance any communist party, Soviet Union or, let's say, the Russian Federation, it's not state, not civil, not patriotic, whatever. You can treat the date of November 7 differently, you can call the events of November 7 differently. Now there are formulations - "revolution", "coup". All this can be done, but you cannot throw this out of the history of Russia, the history of the Soviet Union (and I say Russia, because now Russia).

France does not destroy monuments, although many of them, if they followed the approaches that, unfortunately, we still have today ... Do not trample on the graves of your ancestors, do not trample on your history.

November 7th was. November 7 will remain in the history of Russia, no matter how we treat this day today. And therefore, I think that the state and public organizations or parties that consider it necessary to do this should finance events on memorable dates.

Specifically, November 7 is not the day of the Communist Party, it is the history of the Russian state, this is the history of our Fatherland, this is my personal history. It hurts, but it's mine. Therefore, I think so.

presiding. Valery Totrazovich Kadokhov, a question? Please.

Kadokhov V.T.Dear Vyacheslav Alekseevich! I am for it, of course. Moreover, we are grateful for the attitude that we see here.

But I still wanted to clarify: how, in your opinion, do the days of military glory and dates translated into days of memory agree, and, for example, September 3 is the Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism? Especially Tatyana's day. Yes, these are memorable days - Tatiana's Day and Cosmonautics Day. Here, unfortunately, there is no Day of Russia.

But it seems to us that it may be worthwhile to hold additional consultations on this issue, to consider it from a different angle. In our republic, when he was president, Alexander Sergeevich by decree designated this day as a day of national sorrow, and so on.

Therefore, I do not want, I cannot accept ... I want to vote for the days of military glory. The Russian people, soldiers in military affairs, through conscious self-sacrifice, have created such a base for us, but here, rather, we (you, as a member of the commission, know this) feel dishonor.

Therefore, as you can see, here is what you are reporting, to what extent is it consistent? Do you think it is necessary for us to return to this issue additionally? Yet we ended up today... It's almost a way of our life - terrorism. Then others may have ... Along the "Nord-Ost", Budennovsk, Kaspiysk.

Therefore, the date, perhaps, needs to be shifted somewhere and designated as a separate holiday?

Popov V.A.Thanks for the question, Valery Totrazovich. You asked the most painful question that I expected from someone. And the fact that you asked it... I understand you very well.

I have been preparing for today's report here at the ward for a long time. And he prepared not from the point of view of studying the material, but prepared, first of all, morally. I was waiting for this question, to be honest. Especially since I am a member of the commission to investigate the events in Beslan, I know very well and feel the situation. I feel it with my heart, not just knowledge.

The question has the right to exist. But personally, I came to the conclusion, pondering this question for a day, that today (today - I emphasize this word) this law should be adopted. What convinced me here that it is necessary to take it in this form for the time being? The fact that you need to continue to think about it - I agree. We need to think and maybe find a more subtle solution. But, from my point of view, today it needs to be accepted. If, for example, we set the day of remembrance for the victims according to tragic event, according to Beslan, then we must remember "Nord-Ost", then we must remember Budyonnovsk, and so on and so forth. And we will get a lot of days of memory of the victims at the state level.

But we need to be with you, like this... Very much, of course, I respect, but I don’t really love the United States of America, but they managed to make September 11 a day of unity of the nation. They managed to arrange the work in such a way, including their legislative bodies, and public organizations, state structures, thus put that this day has become unifying. And it got the name, as in our law, the Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism.

We need this, and I think this is exactly in the spirit of what the President constantly talks about. We need the unity of the nation, we need solidarity. And it seems to me that in such a formulation as it is in the law - as the Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism, it should be adopted today. And this topic will be sore with us for many, many years.

presiding. Thank you very much, dear Vyacheslav Alekseevich.

Please, Valentina Alexandrovna Petrenko. Question? Performance. Anatoly Grigoryevich Lyskov, speech? Performance.

Please set the order of the speakers.

Panteleev Oleg Evgenievich, please, your speech.

Panteleev O.E., First Deputy Chairman of the Commission of the Federation Council on the Rules and Organization of Parliamentary Activities, representative in the Federation Council from the administration (government) of the Kurgan region.

Dear Colleagues! Probably, most of us remember well how seriously we studied this law in March, we said that we would definitely return to it repeatedly and make the necessary amendments and changes. This is right. And I support (I saw, for example, that there is a change until November 7) in many respects what the speaker said just now. And as you can see, we are now developing in such a way that most of the problems on the proposed days fall on September 3rd.

But I will say here as a member of the commission in which I have been working since its inception, the commission to investigate the circumstances of the terrorist act in Beslan (and, probably, all 20 of our colleagues from the State Duma and the Federation Council think the same way): it is our duty to circumvent this day, September 3, now, a year later, we simply cannot. And we will not be forgiven for this.

Therefore, I think that we will talk a lot more about our work in the commission, about what we know. But here is just a request (I think it will be supported, I talked to many members of the commission) that we need to leave it. This will be our first contribution, so to speak.

presiding. Thank you, dear Oleg Evgenievich.

Valentina Aleksandrovna Petrenko, please have the floor.

Petrenko V.A.Dear Alexander Porfiryevich, dear colleagues! You know that our committee also (you have an opinion) considered this question and passed the bill unanimously. You also remember that there were a lot of proposals regarding November 7 when we discussed previous laws, and today this date is indicated here. This is very good. Undoubtedly, many raised the issue of September 3 before the Council of the Chamber, and at the committee, and here it was when discussing this law.

I want to say the following. These events shocked the whole world, and therefore for us any day should be the Day of Solidarity in the fight against terrorism throughout the world, not only in our state. I think that it would be possible to designate different dates. But this date shocked the whole world too seriously, and therefore I consider it absolutely right to remember it and on this day to remember those who died in all the terrorist attacks in the Russian Federation, and then not only in Russia, but also abroad.

I believe that no matter how we argue today about some additional dates or some other changes, this law is needed because it is moral and brings our society closer to the morality that we should strive for in order to call himself as a truly strong Russian state. Thank you.

presiding. Thanks a lot.

Anatoly Grigoryevich Lyskov, please, you have the floor.

Lyskov A.G., Deputy Chairman of the Committee of the Federation Council on Legal and Judicial Affairs, representative in the Federation Council from the administration of the Lipetsk Region.

Dear Alexander Porfiryevich, dear colleagues! Quite recently, at the end of last year, we discussed amendments to Labor Code, and in our audience there was a wide discussion about holidays. I believe that the authors of this law have found a good way out in order to compensate for the losses that our society experienced in determining public holidays. Here, the Constitution Day is called a memorable date, and the Day of November 7, and (Valentina Aleksandrovna just spoke emotionally) the Day of September 3.

And this law, taking into account the question of Bykov's colleague, allows us to make appropriate amendments to other memorable dates as well. Therefore, I propose to support the proposal of the Committee on Defense and Security and vote for this law.

presiding. Thank you, dear Anatoly Grigorievich.

Leonid Yulianovich Roketsky, please, you have the floor.
