Recent establishing of Monitoring Help Center for Lost and Harmed Children in Russia coincided with election of \u201cauthorized representatives\u201d for children rights in the LPR and DPR. These events happened almost simultaneously, attracting attention of social activists. After a closer look at the activities of these newly created structures, our particular interest was drawn to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) \u00a0employed by them.<\/b><\/p>\n
According to izvestia.ru<\/a>, the National Monitoring Help Center for Lost and Harmed Children (AOG NMCPPiPD) combined the efforts of several state agencies in searching for lost kids, using unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs).<\/p>\n Pavel Astakhov (Children’s Rights Commissioner<\/a>\u00a0for the President of the Russian Federation) and Stanislav Skusov (Head of the organization Kiberdruzhyna<\/a><\/i>: project of LBI to combat children pornography in Internet) became the founders of the center. Valeriy Solianin (one of the executives of the civic movement Municipal Shield of Moscow) is also mentioned among the founders of NMCPPiPD. Local branches of the new organization have been already created in 23 regions of Russia.<\/p>\n In the middle June, press service of the Children’s Rights Commissioner for the President of the Russian Federation announced a creation of the position of \u00a0Children’s Rights Commissioner in the Luhansk People\u2019s Republic (LPR). Natalia Khorsheva was appointed to this position. She is a former chief of administration of the head of the LPR.<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s worth to note that in May of this year, the Children’s Rights Commissioner for the President of the Russian Federation<\/a> Pavel Astakhov refused to protect 17-year-old Kheda Goilabieva<\/a> who was forced to marry a 46-year-old chief of Nozhay-Yurt District Department of Interiors of Chechnya Nazhud Guchigov.<\/p>\n The newly created Help Center made it clear that UAVs are its priority and it plans to resolve children’s problems by using them.<\/p>\n Now it is time to recall one of the videos filmed in July of 2014 that shows how Ukrainian border guards shot down a Russian Zala 421-08 drone.<\/strong><\/p>\n
