The modern society of the Russian Federation is faced with the massive incompetence of specialists in various fields of activity and branches of knowledge. The situation reached such a climax that a person and a citizen began to be openly afraid to get sick, to turn to law enforcement or human rights bodies, to delve into the essence or content of laws in the event of any kind of tort. Setting ourselves the goal of understanding such destructive processes for the state, as well as the ways of their counteraction, we came to the conclusion that these phenomena of objective reality are associated with both external and internal causes, and one of the ways to eliminate them may be recognition and the development of the right of active citizens and civil society to legal initiative. Considering that the sphere of research interests was in the plane of law, it became possible to conduct a study in the field of legal awareness and legal education, which does not exclude the possibility of using the identified positive and negative aspects for other spheres of human and citizen's life.

Ukrainian law guarantees freedom of speech and expression. This is in line with international and regional instruments (Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Declaration of Human Rights) to which Ukraine is a party. Unfortunately, Ukraine is no exception, due to the conflict with the Russian Federation. The Revolution of Dignity of 2014 and the subsequent illegal activities of the neighbouring state (annexation of Crimea, occupation of the territories in the South-East of Ukraine) affected the legislative and regulatory framework of Ukraine regarding freedom of speech and freedom of expression. In order to counter aggression, the state has adopted a number of laws aimed at counteracting foreign interference in broadcasting and ensuring Ukraine’s information sovereignty. The implementation of these laws has been criticized for being seen by NGOs as imposing restrictions on freedom of expression and expression. However, censorship and selfcensorship create another serious restriction on freedom of speech and the press. The Law on Transparency of Mass Media Ownership, adopted in 2015, provides for the disclosure of information on the owners of final beneficiaries (controllers), and in their absence – on all owners and members of a broadcasting organization or service provider. In 2019, Ukraine adopted a law on strengthening the role of the Ukrainian language as the state language, which provides for language quotas for the media. According to the Law on Language, only 10% of total film adaptations can be in a language other than Ukrainian. Ukraine has adopted several laws in the field of information management to counter foreign influence and propaganda. According to the report of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, for the period from January 1, 2017 to February 14, 2018, the State Committee banned 30 books published in the Russian Federation. Thus, for the first time faced with the need to wage an “invisible” war on the information front, Ukraine was forced to take seriously the regulation of the media and the market. By imposing a number of restrictions on a product that can shake sovereignty and increase the authority of the aggressor in the eyes of citizens, the legislator, guided by the needs of society, also contributes to the promotion of Ukrainian (for example, by introducing quotas).

On October 18, 2018, the National Library Russia (NLR) hosted the Round table “Implementation of citizens’ rights to library services” within the framework of the visiting Session of the Presidential Council for Civil Society and Human Rights. The discussion of library issues in the human rights context, initiated by the NLR, was held for the first time. The participants of the meeting considered the activities of libraries and their founding parties - government authorities - on ensuring the legal rights of citizens to access to culture and information. The topics of discussion included the implementation of cultural policy, library legislation, normative standards of library allocation, physical and information availability of libraries and library collections, the problem of access to online electronic resources and the organization of services for special groups of readers. The article uses the materials of the annual monitoring of the National Library of Russia, the reports (presentations) of the central libraries of the subjects of the Russian Federation, placed in the open database, formed in the framework of the research work of the NLR “Actual problems of transformation of the regional library systems in the information society” (http://clrf.nlr.ru/). The author presents the opinions of specialists from the libraries of St. Petersburg, the Leningrad and Pskov regions, as well as the members of the Presidential Council for Civil Society and Human Rights. Based on the presented views and factual data, the author concludes that libraries do not practically analyse their activities from the human rights perspective, and the state library policy does not fully contribute to the activities of public libraries to ensure the constitutional rights of citizens to use cultural institutions and to have access to cultural values and information of the Russian Federation.
