Volodin asked the Duma commission to interfere in the elections to check Navalny and Sable

The State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin instructed the commission to investigate the intervention in the affairs of Russia to check the opposition Alexei Navalny and the FBK lawyer Lyubov Sobol, Interfax reports .

“Let us entrust the commission to study these issues. You say that Navalny is recruited at Yale University - let the commission figure it out. Lyuba - Let the commission will figure it out with this, ”said Volodin, responding to the performance of the head of the LDPR Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who criticized the activities of Navalny and Sobol, saying that they work for foreign states.

At the same time, Zhirinovsky called Sable the word "Lyuba".

On August 19, the State Duma created a special commission to investigate cases of interference in the internal affairs of Russia. The commission included 12 deputies. According to the speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, a report prepared on the basis of the work of the commission to investigate the intervention in the affairs of Russia will be transferred to law enforcement officers.

In early August, the Russian Foreign Ministry and the Federation Council reported the statements of some foreign media and US embassies, which can be perceived as calls to participate in inconsistent actions in support of independent candidates in the Moscow City Duma.
