Dmitry Gudkov: “The story of how our entire elite is degrading”

“An amazing story: Senator Klintsevich spent 300 thousand rubles on vacation during the New Year holidays, decided not to pay and sent inspections to the rehabilitation center for war disabled veterans. As a result, the court ordered the senator to share the money - he said that he had never lived in this center , but the surveillance cameras all lie, and I didn’t even see the women he was there with.

But relatively recently, Senator Klintsevich (he was still a deputy at that time) claimed to lead the United Russia faction in the Duma.

In general, this story is about how our entire elite is degrading. Even 10-15 years ago, she was holding on to her reputation."
