Abstract
The paper considers practice-oriented problems of civil law protection against defamation, highlights the main legal algorithms for protection against defamation. Based on the analysis of normative provisions and judicial practice, the author comes to the conclusion that the available guidance clarifications on the application of legal norms do not actually ensure uniformity in their application in practice. The terminology used by the legislator is characterized by evaluation, which creates prerequisites for an expansive and incorrect interpretation of the provisions of the law, as a result of which the success of protection against defamation depends not only on the state of legal security (regulatory framework), but also to a large extent on the quality of law enforcement of the relevant legal norms.
