President of the RF Dmitry Medvedev, appearing at the beginning of December at the All-Russian Congress of Judges, made a series of important declarations. In part, he declared about the necessity of adopting a law consolidating various forms of promulgating information about the work of courts. He likewise said about the necessity of creating a unitary disciplinary organ, which would be able to control the application of disciplinary measures of influence on judges.

“If there arise substantive questions toward a judge, he needs to be kicked out not during the course of three years, but right away, when this has taken place”, – said the president.

There is probably nobody in the world already who could have been deceived by these words of the Russian president. The fact of the matter is that the leadership of Russia already has a reputation: this is people who nearly always say the right words, and these words nearly always diverge with the real deeds.
