Russian Party Leader Proposes Fines for Insulting Teachers
Sergei Mironov, leader of the Fair Russia - For Truth party, has proposed new measures to protect teachers from insults. The proposal, made in September 2025, suggests fines for individuals and online harassers. Mironov believes teachers are often 'defenseless' in conflicts with students or parents, and currently lack adequate legal protection. His proposal aims to equate teachers with civil servants in this regard. Individuals found guilty of insulting teachers could face fines of up to 20,000 rubles. For online harassment, the proposed fine is significantly higher, up to 700,000 rubles. Mironov hopes these penalties will deter such behaviour and safeguard educators. Mironov's proposal seeks to strengthen legal protection for teachers, making insults and online harassment punishable by fines. If implemented, these measures could significantly impact how teachers are treated in Russia.
