I've read an article called "Putin orders fingerprinting of all foreigners arriving
in Russia". It was published on the RT.COM on November 25. It
was written by Igor Zarembo. The author draws us a real picture of tense
situation in Russia.
The main purpose of this article is to show us a variant of fighting
illegal immigration and terrorism. He tells us about biometric registration using fingerprinting of all
foreign citizens and persons without citizenship who receive entry visas. This
new order was signed by President Putin. This law will enter into force on
December 10 but Russian diplomats are instructed to inform foreign
countries about the new rules before December 5. Igor explains us the benefits
of the given law. First of all, it helps our Interior Ministry in
identifying people and fighting with crime. Another benefit is banning people
who use new fake documents. Also fingerprinting will reflect the information
about people with dangerous diseases and the creation of a national database.
Such system of fingerprinting should be set up on all borders of Russia
but the author informs us that it is very expensive for our country.
In my opinion, our
country needs such system of identifying people. I have some reasons FOR this
system. First of all, Russia is the biggest country in the world, as we know,
so it is very hard to control all its regions and parts, so fingerprinting
helps the officers and the President to govern the country better. Secondly,
the level of crime, migrants and terrorism grows every year unfortunately. I’m
sure this system helps to increase the security of our country. Moreover, there
are a lot of people with dangerous and fatal diseases all over the world. Every
year scientists fight with new outbreaks of deadly and viral diseases which are
transmitted in different ways and infect people. So this system is necessary
for our country because it protects the health of Russian people. But of course
every system has its own disadvantages. The human rights defenders will say
that it is an invasion of privacy and offence against the law. Also the whole
project promised to be very expensive and hardly justifiable from an economic
point of view. And from my point of view I think that other countries
will rebel and it will undermine our political system.
Finally, I want to
ask my groupmates, do you think is it a good idea to create such system in our
country? Is it really necessary for Russia? Will it really protect us from the
deadly diseases and terrorism?
I think that the article that you've found is rather good news both for me, and for our country. I really don't understand why our government didn't realize this biometric registration with fingerprinting earlier. Russia is such a large country, which everyday thousands of immigrants and tourists arrive in. We need not only security screening, with the common checking of pasports(which can be easily forged), but something deeper, more accurate, something that helps to identify and pay attention to the former prisoners, dangerous criminals and people carrying mortal diseases. In this way, implementation of this system is a great motion towards the safety in Russia.
ОтветитьУдалитьI think it is really great idea. And I absolutely agree with you,Ann.The territory of our Motherland is an unimaginably large and needs more control than others. Russian people are sometimes too friendly and hospitable,we are open to everyone. So it's reasonable to take all possible precautionary measures,to feel safier in our country.
