Milonov against Milonov
Deputies of St. Petersburg Zaks defended his colleagues with an administrative wall
In December 2012, each of the 50 deputies of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg received an appeal from the initiative group of residents of the city with a request to resign deputy Vitaly Milonov for the fact that, thanks to his legislative initiatives, "the image of the capital of homophobia and obscurantistry, which causes obvious harm to the dignity of Petersburgers, began to be fixed for Petersburg." This appeal was transmitted along with a letter signed by famous Petersburgers - Bard Alexander Gorodnitsky, now the late lawyer and human rights activist Yuri Schmidt, Honored Artist of Russia Alexei Devotchenko, historian and publicist Daniil Kotsyubinsky and others.
The deputies reacted differently. The New Times gives the response of the deputy Zaks, the former dean of the Faculty of Journalism of St. Petersburg State University Marina Shishkina.
