Federal Law of the Russian Federation dated July 27, 2006 N 149-FZ “On information, information technologies and information protection” defines the division of information (depending on the category of access to it) into publicly available information and information to which access is limited by federal laws (Art. .5).

In the same article, information is classified according to the method of distribution. What is important here is the isolation of information that, in accordance with federal laws, is subject to provision or distribution. Those. It is illegal to restrict access to this information. What information are we talking about:

Information to which access cannot be restricted

The list of information, access to which cannot be limited, is specified in Article 10 of the same Federal Law of the Russian Federation dated July 27, 2006 N 149 “On information...”:

Other types of secrets

In general, Lukatsky found as many as 65 types of secrets in our legislation. The problem is that some of them mean the same concept, some are special cases of others (or overlap), and others are completely rudimentary...

The legislator in the Federal Law “On Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection,” depending on the access criterion, divides information into publicly available and access limited by federal laws. Let's look at these two legal regimes.

Public information

Information may be the object of public, civil and other legal relations.

Public information includes:

  • 1) freely disseminated information;
  • 2) information provided by agreement of persons participating in information relations;
  • 3) information that, in accordance with federal laws, is subject to provision or distribution. Thus, publicly available information includes generally known information and other information, access to which is not limited (mass media and public domain regime). This also includes information that constitutes public interest, i.e. interests of any person(s) related to ensuring the well-being, stability, security and sustainable development of society.

Public information can be used by citizens at their discretion, subject to the restrictions established by federal laws regarding the dissemination of this information.

The owner of information that has become publicly available by his decision has the right to demand from persons distributing this information, indicate yourself as the source of such information (Article 7 of the Federal Law “On Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection”).

Access cannot be restricted:

  • 1) to normative legal acts that are subject to mandatory publication;
  • 2) information about the state of the environment;
  • 3) information on the activities of state bodies and local self-government bodies, as well as on the use of budget funds (except for information constituting state or official secrets);
  • 4) information accumulated in open collections of libraries, museums and archives, as well as in state, municipal and other information systems created or intended to provide citizens and organizations with such information;
  • 5) other information, the inadmissibility of restricting access to which is established by federal laws.

In addition, Art. 49 of the Model Information Code

of the CIS member countries, adopted in St. Petersburg on April 3, 2008, includes in this list information about emergency situations (incidents, catastrophes, natural disasters) that threaten the safety and health of citizens, their official forecasts; facts of violation of human and civil rights and freedoms, as well as the rights and legitimate interests of legal entities; state of the fight against crime, etc.

State bodies and local government bodies provide access to information about their activities in Russian and the state language of the corresponding republic within the Russian Federation. A person wishing to gain access to such information is not required to justify the need to obtain it.

Decisions and actions (inaction) of state bodies and local self-government bodies, public associations, officials that violate the right to access to information can be appealed to a higher body or higher official or to the court.

If, as a result of an unlawful refusal of access to information, its untimely provision, or the provision of information that is knowingly unreliable or inconsistent with the content of the request, losses were caused, such losses are subject to compensation in accordance with civil law.

By general rule the citizen is provided with free information about the activities of state bodies and local self-government bodies posted by these bodies in information and telecommunication networks; affecting the rights and obligations of the interested party established by the legislation of the Russian Federation; other information established by law.
