Abstract

The article presents research conducted using the traditional method of document analysis - court decisions rendered by courts of general jurisdiction of various subjects of the Russian Federation in 2021 in cases of protection of honor, dignity and business reputation of employees of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation, federal civil servants and employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.
 The main conclusions indicated by the courts in the reasoning part of court decisions on the defamatory nature of the dissemination of information regarding employees are presented; grounds for making positive court decisions in defense of honor, dignity and business reputation; grounds for refusing to satisfy claims.
 According to the results of the study, it can be assumed that today the most relevant is countering the legitimate actions of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation in a contactless way, most of them in the modern media space by distributing information of a discrediting nature.
 Due to the imperfection of the legal system, the authorized units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia (their own security units, legal services) do not always manage to fully protect the honor, dignity and business reputation of both the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation as a whole and individual employees during court proceedings. In this connection, new requirements are being put forward for the information and public relations units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, since their activities in this direction in the form of a proper, timely and effective response to discrediting information disseminated in the media space will help to increase the level of protection of the honor, dignity and business reputation of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation, restore a positive image.
