Meanwhile, an eyewitness to the scandal, VKontakte vice president Ilya Perekopsky told Izvestia that Isaev took an active part in the conflict. “Isaev said a lot of nasty things about Aeroflot, tried to find out the name of the stewardess, saying that he would fire her,” Perekopsky noted. “As a result, the crew commander forbade him to fly this flight, which caused an even greater wave of negativity at Isaev. Isaev began to indignant even more and remind everyone that he was the deputy and has the status of immunity.”
Perekopsky did not say that Isaev was drunk. “But he was definitely excited,” the eyewitness noted. According to him, the incident occurred as a result of an attempt by an assistant who "was clearly inadequate", carry alcohol aboard.
The head of the Aeroflot public relations department Andrei Sogrin told RIA Novosti that the assistant Isaev was in a state of strong intoxication. The deputy also participated in the scandal, but refused the flight himself. "Ridlazov arrived aboard with the passenger Andrei Isaev, who, during the procedure for refusing the passenger of the passenger Alexander Ridlazov, introduced himself as a State Duma deputy, demanded to transplant the stalk to the business class salon, threatened the crew members with dismissal and personal troubles. As a result, the spots were voluntarily transferred to police officers, and Mr. Isaev refused to fly" - said Sogrin. According to the Sheremetyevo airport scorecles, the SU-027 flight arrived in Moscow with a delay of 1 hour 4 minutes.
The reports that Isaev and his assistant were removed from the flight of St. Petersburg-Moscow for the brawl , appeared on Wednesday in the morning. United Russia will check the incident, said the Secretary of the General Council of the Party Sergey Nevorov. “For us, the incident with Andrei Isaev is extremely unpleasant. Now we will request explanations from him on this fact. Having raised the requirements for members of the party, their statements and actions, we must primarily start with ourselves. Therefore, this incident will not remain without a serious party reaction,” Neverov promised.
In March, a loud scandal broke out in connection with Isaev’s threats to journalists . Isaev’s discontent was caused by the article “Political prostitution changed the floor”, published in the “Moscow Komsomolets”. It was about Irina Yarova, Ekaterina Lakhova and Olga Batalina, who went to EP from other parties.
March 15, Isaev on Twitter threatened reporters. “In the yellow newspaper, a vile, vile, dirty collision with three female deputies. The bastards who did it should know: we’ll definitely not forget it, we won’t forgive!” He wrote. “Small creatures - relax, you are indifferent to us. But the specific editor and the author will answer hard.”
In an interview with Znak.com, Isaev said that some “external enemies” use journalists to “destroy state -forming structures” - the Russian Orthodox Church, trade unions and parliament. “Now the task is to discredit us, there is a campaign,” said Uneneros. The party is preparing to respond to accusations of violation of the law by deputies with its own exposure, Isaev emphasized.
