The Governor of the Moscow Region Andrei Vorobyov and the head of the Volokolamsk district Evgeny Gavrilov came to them. Seeing the officials, people began to chant : “Shame! Killers! " Someone shouted: “Resignation!”, “Fascists!”, “You poisoned our children!”

Snowballs flew to Gavrilova and Vorobyov. The head of the district was hit on the head . A riot police arrived at the hospital, next to which the crowd gathered. There were no mass clashes: when the officials left, people parted.

Are the deputy allowed sexual harassment? Ethics commission is not in the know

The State Duma Commission on Ethics did not find “violation of behavioral norms” by deputy Leonid Slutsky, whom the journalists of the parliamentary pool were accused of sexual harassment. This was announced after the meeting of the commission by its head of Otari Arshba. When the members of the commission went to the correspondents after the meeting, such a dialogue occurred with his participation:

- Can you touch the pubis?

- I don't know, I was not present.

- And we thought it was impossible.

“And you also don't know.” You know this only from the words of the applicants.

Answering questions, Arshba said that the commission could only evaluate the words of journalists and the words of Slutsky. “This is a case when it is impossible to establish the truth,” Arshba believes. The audio recording , which confirms that the deputy was harassed by the journalist of the Russian BBC Service Farida Rustamova, is not evidence for the commission.

Rustamova and another journalist - the producer of the Rain television channel Daria Zhuk - performed at a meeting of the commission. Here is a complete decoding of what they said. In response to their words, the commission stated that their actions are targeted and planned.

“The applicants voiced claims to the colleague of Slutsky almost simultaneously, during the election of the President of the Russian Federation, as well as after a considerable time (from year to three years) after the alleged incidents,” Arshba said.

Leonid Slutsky should leave the State Duma .
