Dmitry Gudkov: "Is it worth it to spoil the biography - everyone decides for himself"

“I almost did not communicate with Kobzon in the Duma: he rarely appeared there, and the age difference was too big. But I remember a few stories very well. This is Nord -Ost and, of course, the“ Law of the Serclangers, ”the politician on Facebook writes in connection with the death of Joseph Kobzon.

"I’ll start with the latter. There are 8 people against the law, but now in many sources you can see another figure-7. This is due to the fact that Valery Zubov, who had then, was not at the meeting, and his voting card literally abducted and Levevich fled with it (there was once such a Socialist-Revolutionary, now a member of the CEC). And I specially, after the vote, announced that I had a power of attorney from Zubov and that my power of attorney was of Zubov and that I had a power of attorney from Zubov and that I had a power of attorney from Zub. His voice is actually “against” in this case.

Then Valery Zubov is one of the most famous Russian regional politicians (they are buried with Boris Nemtsov nearby), the first Governor-Democrat of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, a famous scientist, professor, told me: “Here, it would seem, how much he did for his life-and they will remember me just for this vote, because I opposed the murder of orphans.”

And now, remembering Kobzon, everyone is talking, of course, about his songs, about Nord-Ost, where he completely heroically went to terrorists-but also that he voted for the "Law of the Serclangers." Although he was already completely nothing to lose at his age.

The life of any politician is a long distance run. You can start perfectly, break out of the leaders, but a few meters before the finish ribbon stumble. And they will remember you not by how quickly in the middle of the journey you rushed to the goal, but for this fall. And already on him, as on the foundation of the same pyramid, they will string the rest of his life.

Is it worth it to spoil the biography like that - everyone decides for himself. "
