“Traitors, fools and scoundrels” were expelled from the LDPR
The Supreme Council of the LDPR expelled State Duma deputies Dmitry Nosov, Roman Khudyakov and Irina Chirkova from the party. This is stated in a message on the party's website, entitled "LDPR gets rid of traitors, fools and crooks."
According to the Liberal Democratic Party, Dmitry Nosov, an Olympic medalist and founder of the Antidealer movement, “became carried away by personal PR.” He was expelled with the wording "For the loss of connection with the party."
“There were claims against Chirkova for absenteeism and embezzlement of party funds in the elections. And about Khudyakov, there is actually a unanimous opinion in the LDPR: he is, to put it mildly, stupid, ”the LDPR explained.
The party noted that the expelled deputies remain deputies of the faction until the end of the work of the current convocation of the State Duma, and called on them to "immediately surrender their mandates."
But the last straw was the attempt of all three to defect to the "party of power", going from it to the primaries. By the way, as it has already become clear, they do not want to see defectors in the “party of power”. Traitors are not needed even there.
- Deputy Dmitry Nosov is a judo athlete, bronze medalist of the 2004 Olympics. He founded the anti-dealer movement, which fights the spread of drugs. Movement activists, according to Nosov, contributed to the detention of rapper Guf in Krasnoyarsk, as a result of which he was arrested for 6 days for drug use.
- In March 2016, in an interview with Sports.ru, Dmitry Nosov called Joseph Stalin a "great statesman" and Stalin's repressions a "controversial moment." *
