Russian Ex-Judge to Sue Bloggers for Ruining Her Career

Irina Levandovskaya, a dismissed Russian federal judge in Ulan-Ude, intends to sue bloggers and web sites for distributing her private photographs on the Internet. Levandovskaya published the photos, which showed her kissing a bottle of vodka, on her personal page on the social network Vkontakte, apparently believing the page was accessible only to friends. Bloggers and mass media republished the photos with mocking comments. Levandovskaya was fired for violating professional ethics and is demanding some $7,000 in compensation for moral harm and injury to her personal and professional life.
