The issues of freedom of speech and press are discussed during the class in relation to mass media and shaping of public opinion.

The article deals with the problem of conflict of law norms of two federal laws: Article 1 of the Federal Law "On Counteracting Extremist Activity" and Article 20.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. In the first law, "propaganda and public demonstration of Nazi attributes" are referred to extremist activity, and Part 1 of Article 20.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation establishes administrative responsibility "for propaganda or public demonstration of Nazi attributes." The author of the publication analyzes how this collision affects law enforcement practice, as the hypothesis of Part 1 of Article 20.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation is consistent with Article 29 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which guarantees the right to freedom of speech and thoughts.
