Vladimir Lukin, Russian Ombudsman:

"It turns out like this:" Some important, adult uncles are not allowed into another country - correctly or wrong. In response to this, we adopt our law, according to which we deprive children of the right to adopt in this country.

This is the trade in children, this is a monstrous business that will disgrace the country ” - Interfax .

“This is wrong, I’m sure that, ultimately, the State Duma will make a balanced decision. International adoption as an institution has every right to exist.

Ekaterina Lakhova, State Duma deputy, party "United Russia", author of the Russian response to the "Law of Magnitsky":
“I have long been criticized by Livanov for not understanding what the Ministry of Education is. He sometimes does statements without thinking, not understanding the problem.

Mikhail Fedotov, Head of the Presidential Council of Human Rights: “The Russian answer to the American“ Magnitsky Law ”should not concern the issue of adoption of children. To associate this with sick Russian children - I think this is simply unethical,” Interfax .

Mikhail Prokhorov, Head of the Civil Platform party: “In my opinion, the“ United Russia ”was the initiator of this shameful document. The incident shows: despite the fact that there are worthy and professional people in United Russia, the first violin is clearly playing politicians suffering from an inferiority complex. What the Duma has done to adopt children from Russia is at least ashamed and short -lived. But the main thing is, to put it mildly, it is dishonest in relation to hundreds of thousands of parents abandoned by Russian children and orphans, ” a record in the“ Live Journal ” .

Boris Nemtsov, member of the Bureau of the Federal Political Council of the Solidarity movement: “Dima Yakovlev is a small baby who was adopted in the United States. In 2008, he died tragically: his father forgot in the car, the car was heated, and he died. He was judged by his father, but he did not sit. I emphasize the United States, said that this is an unlawful decision, but nevertheless, the deputies from United Russia were sitting and silent, all four years, in 2008 he died-they were silent, then, on the contrary, they decided that they need to adopt, so that the Americans could adopt a contract .
