As I read this the intent is that pilots who refuse to deice can now be overuled by flight ops and be forced to get the airplane sprayed before takeoff

Given the cowboy culture of Russian airline ops. remember the video of the A320 taking off with a foot of snow on the wing ; If I was a passenger on a Russian jet (although for me that will never happen), I would be happy that ground crew could force the pilot to deice as the Russian pilots have demonstrated on numerous occasions that they do not have the personal discipline to operate safely.
