Chepa without borders

Portrait of a deputy who wants to leave Russians without Green Cart

The United States was offended by several Russians who were refused to issue visas. And these were not ordinary Russians, but members of the delegation formed to participate in a meeting of the UN General Assembly in New York. At the same time, one cannot but pay attention to the fact that the documents for visas were submitted almost at the very last moment - a week before the event, and at the same time the delegation included persons, which the United States has long been included in its sanctions lists. Perhaps the calculation was that in a hurry the Americans would forget to look into the list of Person Non Gart. Not forgotten.

High -ranking Russians, of course, were indignant. They even conducted conversations about the need to transfer the UN headquarters to another country. All State Duma deputy Alexei Chepa surpassed everyone, who offered to ban the draw of American Green Cart among Russians.

Not only is such a “response measure” in itself looks inadequate.

The Americans did not let several "people's chosen ones" into the country, and in response we will punish the Russians.

But where would the figure of a deputy who proposed a ban as a pond of perplexity.

In Cambodia, near the city of Sianukville , they showed me the island of Koch Pu, they told me that this island would have remained uninhabited, if not for a sheep. My interlocutors were clearly proud of a Russian who did not spare $ 31 million for the construction of the bridge. In 2011, even Prime Minister Cambodia Hun Saint, Prime Minister Cambodia, came to the opening ceremony of the structure. After the construction of the bridge, the island literally bloomed, active construction began there. How is it not to be proud of a Russian, without the investment of which Koch Pu, perhaps, would have lived?

And in London they showed me a popular novikov restaurant among local Russians, opened by Restaurateur Arkady Novikov together with Alexei Chepa (he owned 45% of the shares). Moreover, Chepa was one of the owners of the restaurant, even working in the State Duma. True, in 2013 he rewrote the shares on a 16-year-old son living in London.

In American Miami , they are also proud of Chepa. Shortly before the deputy of the State Duma, he bought in this city for $ 2.5 million an apartment in a prestigious place with a view of the ocean. But, apparently, out of the modesty of Chep, he forgot to indicate the Mayam apartment in the deputy declaration. Later he rewrote luxurious real estate to his niece.

Therefore, it is surprising that the ban on the participation of Russians in the draw of American Green Cart was proposed by a person who has long been living without borders.
