Abstract
The aim of the work is to highlight the issues of substantive and procedural features of bringing to administrative responsibility for the abuse of freedom of the media.
Accordingly, the tasks of the work include the following research objects: the development of the concept of knowingly unreliable information, respectively, its content in relation to other similar phenomena, the analysis of the practice of applying the relevant articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and the prospects for the development of activities of state bodies in the field of counteracting the spread of knowingly unreliable information.
Due to the fact that the abuse of media freedom is a multidimensional phenomenon related to criminal liability, the author analyzes the ratio of the compositions of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation related to such an aspect of the abuse of media freedom as the dissemination of "fake" information.
The fundamental conclusion of this study is the idea that the compositions of articles 20.3.3 introduced in 2022 in the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, if public actions are expressed in the form of dissemination of deliberately false information, are adjacent to the compositions of parts 9.19, 10.1, 10.2 of article 13.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses RF. The differentiating responsibility element of the objective side is the publicity of the dissemination of deliberately false information, and on the subjective side, the presence of such an optional element of an administrative offense as a goal in the form of discredit.
