A activist who offered to weigh the deputies was detained near the State Duma building

In Moscow, the artist Fedor Kalinin, who proposed to weigh the deputies, was detained near the State Duma building. He himself informed the OVD-Info about this.

He was delivered to the Tverskaya police department supposedly to verify documents, there the police limit it to use the phone.

Kalinin stood at the Duma building with scales. As the artist explained, the inhabitants of Russia have no other ways to combat corruption, since the state closes independent anti -corruption projects and recognizes the media as “foreign agents”. Therefore, he calls to weigh the deputies.

“How, in the context of a truly medieval reality, to us, citizens, to control the representatives chosen to us? I think we have no choice but to turn to the experience of a small English town of the 17th century-Hai-Uik. The mayors there began to get into one after another during their service, as it turned out, they profit from money and large stomachs. To limit corruption, the townspeople had to begin to weigh them at the beginning and at the end of the term. Corruption was defeated, ”Kalinin writes in his manifesto.

13:10 Kalinin was released from the ATS without a protocol about the offense.
