Having regard to:<\/p>\n

the application (no.\u00a04161\/13) against the Russian Federation lodged with the Court under Article\u00a034 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (\u201cthe Convention\u201d) by a Russian national, Mr\u00a0Dmitriy Sergeyevich Karuyev (\u201cthe applicant\u201d), on 30\u00a0November 2012;<\/p>\n

the decision to give notice of the application to the Russian Government (\u201cthe Government\u201d);<\/p>\n

the parties\u2019 observations;<\/p>\n

Having deliberated in private on 23 November and 7 December 2021,<\/p>\n

Delivers the following judgment, which was adopted on the last-mentioned date:<\/p>\n

INTRODUCTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. The case concerns the applicant\u2019s conviction for spitting on a portrait of the President of Russia.<\/p>\n

THE FACTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. The applicant was born in 1992 and lives in Cheboksary. He was represented by Mr\u00a0A. Glukhov, a lawyer practising in Novocheboksarsk. The applicant is an activist with the Other Russia opposition party.<\/p>\n

3. The Government were initially represented by Mr\u00a0M. Galperin, Representative of the Russian Federation to the European Court of Human Rights, and later by his successor in this office, Mr\u00a0M. Vinogradov.<\/p>\n

4. The facts of the case, as submitted by the parties, may be summarised as follows.<\/p>\n

5. On 6\u00a0May 2012, on the eve of Mr Vladimir Putin\u2019s inauguration following his election as President of Russia, the applicant and others installed a portrait of President Putin in front of the Prime Minister Putin\u2019s Public Reception Centre in Cheboksary.\u00a0They marked his years in power in the manner of marking the years of a person\u2019s life on a tombstone and laid two carnations at the portrait \u2013 following the Russian tradition of leaving an even number of flowers next to the image of the deceased \u2013 to express their hope for an end to Mr\u00a0Putin\u2019s continued rule.<\/p>\n

6. About thirty minutes into the performance, the applicant approached the portrait, picked it up and spat on it. Police officers witnessed the action without intervening.<\/p>\n

7. Four hours after the performance, the police arrested the applicant and charged him with a minor breach of public order under Article\u00a020.1 \u00a7\u00a01 of the Code of Administrative Offences.\u00a0The report on the administrative offence noted as follows:<\/p>\n

\u201c[The applicant] approached the portrait of President Putin …\u00a0and, showing flagrant disrespect for society, defiantly spat on the portrait of President Putin.\u00a0The assembled citizens and passers-by witnessed the incident\u201d.<\/p>\n

8. On 30\u00a0May 2012 a magistrate in the Moskovskiy District in Cheboksary found the applicant guilty as charged.\u00a0The magistrate held that the applicant\u2019s conduct constituted a breach of public order because \u201che was holding himself arrogantly\u201d showing \u201cflagrant disrespect for society\u201d in the presence of many people and \u201cdefied generally accepted standards of public behaviour and morals\u201d by spitting \u201con a portrait of President Putin elected in the 4\u00a0March 2012 election\u201d.\u00a0The applicant was sentenced to a fifteen-day detention, effective immediately.<\/p>\n

9. Counsel lodged an appeal, arguing that the applicant\u2019s act was an expression of his political opposition to President Putin and that he should not be punished for exercising his right to freedom of expression.\u00a0Relying on Article\u00a010 of the Convention, he recalled that political speech enjoyed the highest level of protection and that the limits of criticism were much wider in respect of politicians and State officials.\u00a0He stressed that the applicant would not have been sentenced to imprisonment if he had spat on a photograph of a private individual.<\/p>\n

10. On 31\u00a0May 2012 the Moskovskiy District Court in Cheboksary dismissed the appeal, reiterating that the applicant had shown \u201cflagrant disrespect for society which voted in general elections for its head of State, President Putin\u201d.\u00a0It added that \u201cthe form of expression should not degrade the honour and dignity of an individual, especially the honour and dignity of the popularly elected President of Russia\u201d.<\/p>\n

RELEVANT LEGAL FRAMEWORK<\/strong><\/p>\n

11. Article\u00a020.1 \u00a7\u00a01 of the Code of Administrative Offences defines a minor breach of public order (\u201cpetty hooliganism\u201d, \u043c\u0435\u043b\u043a\u043e\u0435 \u0445\u0443\u043b\u0438\u0433\u0430\u043d\u0441\u0442\u0432\u043e) as \u201ca breach of public order manifesting a flagrant disrespect for society accompanied by obscene language in a public place, offensive harassment of others, and destruction or damage to property of others\u201d.\u00a0It may be punishable with a fine or up to fifteen days\u2019 detention.<\/p>\n

12. The particularity of the offence of petty hooliganism lies in the fact that its actus reus comprises a mandatory combination of two elements. The main element, \u201ca breach of public order manifesting a flagrant disrespect for society\u201d, must be accompanied by one of the three additional elements, \u201cobscene language\u201d, \u201coffensive harassment of others\u201d or \u201cdestruction or damage to property of others\u201d (see the Moscow City Court\u2019s judgments of 4\u00a0October 2017 (case no.\u00a07-13528\/2017) and 8\u00a0June 2018 (case no.\u00a07\u20117337\/2018)).<\/p>\n

THE LAW<\/strong><\/p>\n

I. ALLEGED VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 10 OF THE CONVENTION<\/p>\n

13. The applicant complained of a violation of his right to freedom of expression under Article\u00a010 of the Convention, which reads as follows:<\/p>\n

\u201c1. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression.\u00a0This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority …<\/p>\n

2. The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others …\u201d<\/p>\n

A. Admissibility<\/strong><\/p>\n

14. The Court notes that the application is neither manifestly ill-founded nor inadmissible on any other grounds listed in Article\u00a035 of the Convention.\u00a0It must therefore be declared admissible.<\/p>\n

B. Merits<\/strong><\/p>\n

15. The applicant emphasised that the Russian authorities were not concerned about his public spitting but rather with the object of his spitting, which they referred to in every decision as \u201ca portrait of the popularly elected President Putin\u201d.\u00a0The real purpose of the interference was to suppress any criticism of President Putin and his method of governance.\u00a0By relying on judgments in which defendants were convicted of throwing excrement at others, the Government established a false equivalence between a real person and a photographic image.\u00a0The applicant had not insulted or offended anyone; he had been convicted for spitting on the image of a politician he had campaigned against.\u00a0He did have a history of administrative convictions, each time being punished for lawfully exercising his right to freedom of assembly.<\/p>\n

16. The Government submitted that the interference was prescribed by law and was necessary in a democratic society for the prevention of disorder.\u00a0The applicant had breached public order and moral standards in a public and defiant manner, in front of many people.\u00a0Spitting on the portrait of the President of Russia had been a form of immoral conduct rather than political expression.\u00a0The applicant had been found guilty for a breach of public order, not for insulting the President of Russia.\u00a0The penalty had not been excessive in the light of the applicant\u2019s history of administrative convictions.\u00a0The Government attached four judgments in which defendants had been given custodial sentences for spitting or throwing excrement at others.<\/p>\n

17. According to the Court\u2019s well-established case-law, freedom of expression, as secured in paragraph\u00a01 of Article\u00a010, constitutes one of the essential foundations of a democratic society and one of the basic conditions for its progress and for each individual\u2019s self-fulfilment.\u00a0Subject to paragraph\u00a02, it is applicable not only to \u201cinformation\u201d or \u201cideas\u201d that are favourably received or regarded as inoffensive or as a matter of indifference, but also to those which offend, shock or disturb; such are the demands of pluralism, tolerance and broadmindedness, without which there is no \u201cdemocratic society\u201d.\u00a0Moreover, Article\u00a010 of the Convention protects not only the substance of the ideas and information expressed but also the form in which they are conveyed (see Oberschlick v.\u00a0Austria (no.\u00a01), 23\u00a0May 1991, \u00a7\u00a057, Series\u00a0A no.\u00a0204).<\/p>\n

18. The protection of Article\u00a010 is not limited to spoken or written word, for ideas and opinions are also capable of being communicated by non-verbal means of expression or through a person\u2019s conduct (see, among others, Christian Democratic People\u2019s Party v.\u00a0Moldova (no.\u00a02), no.\u00a025196\/04, \u00a7\u00a7\u00a09\u00a0in fine and 27, 2\u00a0February 2010, concerning the public burning of the Russian flag and of a picture of the President of Russia; Tat\u00e1r and F\u00e1ber v.\u00a0Hungary, nos.\u00a026005\/08 and 26160\/08, 12\u00a0June 2012, concerning a public display of dirty clothes; Murat Vural v.\u00a0Turkey, no.\u00a09540\/07, 21\u00a0October 2014, and Ibrahimov and Mammadov v.\u00a0Azerbaijan, nos.\u00a063571\/16 and 5\u00a0others, 13\u00a0February 2020, concerning the pouring of paint on statues of historical figures; Shvydka v.\u00a0Ukraine, no.\u00a017888\/12, 30\u00a0October 2014, concerning the detaching of a ribbon from a wreath laid by the head of State; Sinkova v.\u00a0Ukraine, no.\u00a039496\/11, 27\u00a0February 2018, concerning the frying of eggs and sausages over the \u201ceternal flame\u201d at a war memorial; Stern Taulats and Roura Capellera v.\u00a0Spain, nos.\u00a051168\/15 and 51186\/15, 13\u00a0March 2018, concerning the setting of fire to an upside-down photograph of the royal couple; and M\u0103t\u0103saru v.\u00a0the Republic of Moldova, nos.\u00a069714\/16 and 71685\/16, 15\u00a0January 2019, concerning the installing of genital-shaped sculptures on the stairs of a government office).<\/p>\n

19. In deciding whether a certain act or conduct falls within the ambit of Article\u00a010 of the Convention, the Court must consider the nature of the act or conduct in question, in particular its expressive character as seen from an objective point of view, and also the purpose or the intention of the person performing the act or carrying out the conduct in question (see Murat Vural, cited above, \u00a7\u00a054).<\/p>\n

20. The Court considers that the act of spitting on a photograph of a politician in the wake of his re-election should be considered an expression of political opinion (see Shvydka, cited above, \u00a7\u00a038).\u00a0It is furthermore not in doubt that the applicant\u2019s conviction of a minor breach of public order in relation to that act and the ensuing fifteen days\u2019 imprisonment amounted to interference with his right to freedom of expression (see Cholakov v.\u00a0Bulgaria, no.\u00a020147\/06, \u00a7\u00a025, 1\u00a0October 2013).\u00a0The interference will constitute a breach of Article\u00a010 unless it is \u201cprescribed by law\u201d, pursues one or more of the legitimate aims referred to in Article\u00a010 \u00a7\u00a02 and is \u201cnecessary in a democratic society\u201d to achieve those aims.<\/p>\n

21. On the issue whether the interference was \u201cprescribed by law\u201d, the Court notes that Article\u00a020.1 \u00a7\u00a01 of the Code of Administrative Offences (CAO) under which the applicant was prosecuted requires \u2013 consistent with its plain language and its application in national jurisprudence (see paragraph\u00a012 above) \u2013 the establishment of a mandatory combination of two elements relating to the offender\u2019s conduct. The main element, \u201ca breach of public order manifesting a flagrant disrespect for society\u201d, must be accompanied by at least one of the three additional elements including \u201cobscene language\u201d, \u201coffensive harassment of others\u201d or \u201cdestruction or damage to property of others\u201d (see paragraphs 11 and 12 above).<\/p>\n

22. However, on the facts, the Court finds no indication to regard the performance in which the applicant took part as other than essentially peaceful and non-violent.\u00a0The domestic authorities produced no evidence that the performance punished as \u201cpetty hooliganism\u201d caused or was likely to cause any public disturbances or violence; or that the act of spitting on the portrait provoked any outrage, indignation or negative comments from passers-by. As it happened, the police officers present at the scene saw no reason to intervene at any point in time during the performance, including when they witnessed the applicant spitting on the portrait (see paragraph 6 above) and the applicant was not arrested until four hours after the end of the performance.<\/p>\n

23. The Court further notes that the domestic courts did not specify the factual and legal basis for concluding that the applicant\u2019s act led to any public disturbance or that he used foul language, harassed anyone or damaged property of others during the performance.<\/p>\n

24. In these circumstances, the Court is not satisfied that the specific elements of an offence under Article\u00a020.1 \u00a7\u00a01 of the CAO have been shown to exist. Accordingly, the applicant\u2019s prosecution under that provision cannot be said to have had a clear and foreseeable basis in domestic law (compare Steel and Others v.\u00a0the United Kingdom, 23\u00a0September 1998, \u00a7\u00a7\u00a064 and 110, Reports of Judgments and Decisions 1998\u2011VII, and, by contrast, Lucas v.\u00a0the\u00a0United Kingdom (dec.), no.\u00a039013\/02, 18\u00a0March 2003).<\/p>\n

25. As the applicant\u2019s conviction under Article\u00a020.1 \u00a7\u00a01 of the CAO was found to be incompatible with the lawfulness requirement, the Court does not need to consider whether the interference pursued any legitimate aim and was \u201cnecessary in a democratic society\u201d.<\/p>\n

26. There has accordingly been a violation of Article\u00a010 of the Convention.<\/p>\n

II. APPLICATION OF ARTICLE\u00a041 OF THE CONVENTION<\/p>\n

27. Article\u00a041 of the Convention provides:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the Court finds that there has been a violation of the Convention or the Protocols thereto, and if the internal law of the High Contracting Party concerned allows only partial reparation to be made, the Court shall, if necessary, afford just satisfaction to the injured party.\u201d<\/p>\n

28. The applicant claimed 25,000 euros (EUR) in respect of non\u2011pecuniary damage and EUR\u00a02,400 in respect of legal costs.<\/p>\n

29. The Government submitted that the claims were excessive, that the applicant had not produced receipts, and that the legal-services contract provided for payment to be made after delivery of the Court\u2019s judgment.<\/p>\n

30. The Court awards the applicant EUR\u00a010,000 in respect of non\u2011pecuniary damage, plus any tax that may be chargeable.\u00a0It further notes that the applicant is legally liable to pay a fee for legal services.\u00a0The stipulation in the legal-services contract that fees are payable after the judgment has been issued determines the date on which they become due rather than the issue whether or not they are due.\u00a0This arrangement is distinct from a conditional fee which is payable only if the application is successful or if the Court makes an award (see MGN Limited v.\u00a0the\u00a0United\u00a0Kingdom, no.\u00a039401\/04, \u00a7\u00a090, 18\u00a0January 2011).\u00a0The Court is satisfied that the expenses were actually and necessarily incurred and also reasonable as to quantum and awards the amount claimed to the applicant, plus any tax that may be chargeable to him.<\/p>\n

31. The Court considers it appropriate that the default interest rate should be based on the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank, to which should be added three percentage points.<\/p>\n

FOR THESE REASONS, THE COURT<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Declares, unanimously, the application admissible;<\/p>\n

2. Holds, by six votes to one, that there has been a violation of Article\u00a010 of the Convention;<\/p>\n

3. Holds, by six votes to one,<\/p>\n

(a) that the respondent State is to pay the applicant, within three months from the date on which the judgment becomes final in accordance with Article\u00a044\u00a0\u00a7\u00a02 of the Convention, the following amounts, to be converted into the currency of the respondent State at the rate applicable at the date of settlement:<\/p>\n

(i) EUR\u00a010,000 (ten thousand euros), plus any tax that may be chargeable, in respect of non-pecuniary damage;<\/p>\n

(ii) EUR\u00a02,400 (two thousand four hundred euros), plus any tax that may be chargeable to the applicant, in respect of costs and expenses;<\/p>\n

(b) that from the expiry of the above-mentioned three months until settlement simple interest shall be payable on the above amounts at a rate equal to the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank during the default period plus three percentage points;<\/p>\n

4. Dismisses, unanimously, the remainder of the applicant\u2019s claim for just satisfaction.<\/p>\n

Done in English, and notified in writing on 18 January 2022, pursuant to Rule\u00a077\u00a0\u00a7\u00a7\u00a02 and 3 of the Rules of Court.<\/p>\n

\nM.B.<\/p>\n

CONCURRING OPINION OF JUDGE PAVLI<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. The Court has found a violation of the applicant\u2019s Article 10 rights on the ground that the interference was not \u201cprescribed by law\u201d. While I agree with that conclusion, I regret that the Chamber did not go on to consider the question of necessity in a democratic society, which in my view would have been justified by compelling reasons in this case.<\/p>\n

2. It is an established principle of our jurisprudence that symbolic or other speech that may be offensive to senior political figures, including heads of State, is protected by Article 10 of the Convention (see in particular Stern Taulats and Roura Capellera v. Spain, nos. 51168\/15 and 51186\/15, 13\u00a0March 2018, which involved the burning of a large, upside-down portrait of the Spanish royal couple during an anti-monarchist protest against their official visit to Girona; and Eon v. France, no. 26118\/10, 14 March 2013, involving an applicant who was fined thirty euros for holding up an insulting and slightly obscene sign during a rally attended by the incumbent French president).<\/p>\n

3. The current applicant, in contrast, was given a 15-day prison sentence for spitting at a photograph of the Russian president-elect, as part of a political street performance held on the eve of the presidential inauguration. Unlike in the Spanish and French cases cited above, the president-elect was nowhere in the vicinity. There is no indication that the largely satirical protest attracted a large audience or that it led to any breach of public order; in fact, the police did not intervene in any fashion during the event and the applicant was arrested several hours later at his home. This makes the offence, in my view, no more than a crime of political opinion.<\/p>\n

4. It was not very long ago that people in the Eastern half of Europe were sent to labour camps simply for telling disrespectful jokes about Politburo members. One hopes that those days will be a thing of the past, considering the high price that has been paid for the right to disapprove of our political leaders. The Chamber has chosen today not to go beyond the more formal finding of a breach of the legality principle. I wish it had provided a more robust message and maintained the principled position of our case-law that, in a European democracy, political leaders are not immune to criticism or even ridicule \u2013 and respect for their person or office should not be founded on a threat of imprisonment.<\/p>\n

DISSENTING OPINION OF JUDGE DEDOV<\/strong><\/p>\n

I regret that I am unable to agree with the majority in finding a violation of Article 10 in the present case. I believe that any opinion should be expressed respectfully. This principle is universal and fundamental. It covers everything \u2013 from codes of judicial ethics to political debate \u2013 in order to prevent civil confrontation and to maintain a peaceful atmosphere in society. It applies to politics in general and to elections in particular. It applies to expression through conduct or through verbal value judgments.<\/p>\n

I previously expressed my opinion in the case of Magyar K\u00e9tfark\u00fa Kutya P\u00e1rt v. Hungary (no. 201\/17, 20 January 2020), where I referred to the relevant case-law of the Court. The present case is again about showing disrespect for the democratic decision-making process in an insulting manner close to hate speech, so the authorities\u2019 reaction was lawful, adequate and foreseeable by the applicant.<\/p>\n

In my view it was not just a small political performance (due to an allegedly limited number of observers in the street), because if such a performance is filmed and disseminated via the Internet and social media, in the digital age it may become influential and thus powerful.<\/p>\n

State officials, whether elected by the majority or appointed to public office, are human beings, and they deserve respectful treatment, even though members of society have the right to criticise them for their actions. Such officials are also members of society, and the Court, in acting as a guardian of responsible expression of opinion, preserves the fragile peace in society, especially between those in power and those in opposition, between the majority and the minority. The performance in question was disrespectful towards a State official, but every person \u2013 everybody\u2019s personal dignity \u2013 deserves to be respected regardless of civil status. This is why Article 10 of the Convention protects the rights of others and allows a limitation of freedom of expression.<\/p>\n
