metadata.value: The purpose of this study is to analyze judicial practice on the application of the principle of
  respect for the dignity of an employee, enshrined in Article 2 of the Labour Code of the Russian
  Federation. In the absence of special rules on the protection of an employee from psychological
  harassment, abuse, and pressure on the part of the employer, this principle is the key
  to building the position of the plaintiffs. Unlike other principles, ensuring the right of workers
  to protect their dignity is limited to only two sentences of the article, and has no further disclosure
  neither in labour legislation, nor in the clarifications of higher judicial instances. This
  paper examines the trends in law enforcement practice and its possible problems by analyzing
  the practice of Russian courts for the period from 2012 to 2021. This analysis has highlighted
  a number of enforcement problems: the courts do not distinguish between the principle of
  respect for the dignity of an employee and the principle of prohibition of discrimination in
  the sphere of work; there is a formal court approach to considering allegations of psychological
  harassment and pressure in the workplace; courts apply general rules on the distribution
  of the burden of proof in cases of psychological harassment. Since there are no decisions in
  judicial practice in which the plaintiffs’ claims would be satisfied on the basis of violation of
  the principle of respect for the dignity of the employee, it is necessary to include in the labour
  legislation of the Russian Federation a mechanism for protecting the dignity of employees,
  obliging the employer to provide a psychologically healthy working environment, as well as
  redistribute the burden of proof when considering cases of this category.
