The Gerard Depardieu received Russian citizenship traveled around Saransk by car with a blue flashing special signal. This is stated in the open letter of the blogger Yuri Ursu President Vladimir Putin.
The blogger saw that the actor drove a car with a flasher in the news release on the NTV television channel. The plot said that Depardieu arrived in Saransk in order to receive a certificate of registration of a legal entity. He intends to open a restaurant in the capital of Mordovia.
The author of the letter reminds the president that he repeatedly spoke out against the illegal use of special signals and significantly reduced their number with his decree. "However, the final users of special signals, obviously, do not listen to you and allow themselves to use service cars in state interests," the blogger notes.
Ursu asks Putin to conduct a check on the "fact of using a car with a special signal for the transportation of a Russian citizen Depardieu Gerard Ksavi, which is not an object of state protection." The blogger notes that the trip was made by the actor exclusively for commercial purposes.
In the Blue Vederok community, where a letter was also published, users identified the Audi A8L car of the head of Mordovia Vladimir Volkov.
Last week there were reports that Depardieu would play the role of the first president of Chechnya Akhmat Kadyrov in the film "Father's Heart", whose shooting is planned to be carried out in Chechnya. However, the director of the State Film Fund of Russia Nikolai Borodachev said that the film will not talk about the father of the current head of the republic Ramzan Kadyrov. “This is a completely different story, more like an action movie. Depardieu will embody a positive image of a Chechen on the screen,” Borodachev explained.
The department at the end of last year abandoned French citizenship, outraged by the plans of the French government to increase tax rates to 75 percent. He moved to the Belgian city of Neshen on the border with France, where he acquired a house and arranged accommodation. In early January of this year, the actor received a Russian passport, and then the apartments as a gift in Mordovia and Chechnya.
Shortly after returning to the presidency, Putin signed a decree "On streamlining the use of devices to supply special light and sound signals installed on vehicles." The document establishes that special signals "in the absence of special colorographic schemes on the outer surface of vehicles" are installed on vehicles, serving persons who are provided with state protection, and persons in respect of whom state protection measures are taken. A decrease in the number of flashing lights was one of Putin's election promises.
