State Duma deputy to sew blogger for online insults

State Duma deputy Viktor Alksnis has followed the trend and opened an account on LiveJournal.com. One of the well known Russian LJ-users Timofei Shevyakov ('tarlith' on LJ) posted a comment to deputy's blog swearing him with unprintable words. Alksnis reminded him about the legal responsibility for disrespect to a government representative but the flame grew even more obscene. Then Viktor Alksins continued posting disclaimers and publicly appealing to establish the law that would "protect authorities from being insulted on the Web". After all his LiveJournal account was hacked and later suspended. Now he posts about his campaign against Timofei Shevyakov on v-alksnis2.livejournal.com. He has also addressed Russia's General Prosecutor to sew his legal and political opponent (such direct queryis deputies' and some other government officials exclusive right). This case also attracts much attention considering average Russian web user anonymity. Although it has been used so far as a shield by those who go online for illegal abusive actions, the recent lawsuits shows government's growing interest to control the Internet sphere in Russia.
