Pskov: The head of the district switched police officers

On November 12, YouTube, a YouTube user, published a video where the head of the Pechora district, the secretary of the local branch of United Russia Dmitry Sopotov curses a mat on the police.

The author of the video claims that Dmitry Sopotov became obscenely after the police stopped the car, where he was traveling with a friend, and invited the latter to undergo a medical examination.

“If you are a tall person, this does not mean that you must send someone,” says a video member of the video, probably a policeman.

“Riding ..., now look back in the back! Think, I don’t know how they go here ..., ..., drunk. <...> We won a grant from Moscow today, 54 million, ...! The man drank 4 stacks with me, ...., this whiskey, ... <... who are you? Well done, I bless you! <...> You have chosen you, .... Six, ....! Well, what will you do to me? ”Dmitry Sopotov answers him.

The video was shot in May 2019. Perhaps it was published due to the recent appointment of Dmitry Sopotov to the post of secretary of the local branch of United Russia. It took place on November 1, 2019.

“The secretaries of the party’s district branches were authoritative and responsible people. I am sure that they will adequately cope with the large and serious work in the field,” Andrei Karpov, the head of the regional executive committee of United Russia, commented at that time.

The correspondent of North. Realia contacted the head of the Pechora district Sopotov. He refused to quickly comment on the video.

“I’m uncomfortable to talk now, we have a meeting. Carry back after two,” Dmitry Sopotov asked.

The "Pskov News Tape" Sopotov confirmed that it was he in the video.

“It was a momentary impulsive reaction. It’s like a nervous nerve. I realize that it was wrong, and all issues were removed with the police officer for the next day. And then the court sorted out the court in all the disputed moments. Yes, I am an emotional person, an athlete, moreover, such a manner of behavior is unusual for me, I can’t increase the voice at anyone. In this case, I didn’t have an unfairness, but there was an unfriendly, but there was an unfriendly, but there was an unfriendly, but there was an unfriendly, but there was an unfriendly, but there was an unfriendly, but there was an unfair It’s hard to prove something to me, and now let's all judge me, we’re stones! Of course, I am not pleasant and ashamed of my voters, but, as they say, the word is not a sparrow, ”the head of the Pechora region explained.
