Events that occurred on 23 June at the meeting of the Saratov regional Duma, pulling in a gangster Thriller. At the meeting, which addressed unethical behavior deputies Dmitry Chernyshevsky from the United Russia party, and Nikolai Bondarenko from the Communist party, the MPs staged a brawl. The parliamentarians chased each other, poured water, threw bottles of mineral water, could be heard the cursing and demands to call the police.
the version of events presented the “MK” the Deputy Nikolay Bondarenko, who was in the center of the scandal.
the Meeting of the Saratov regional Duma that day, much delayed, was about 11 or 12 hours. Discussed the issue of deprivation of my words, and, under completely false pretenses. I’m used to it, this is not the first attempt the squeeze on me. I was taking video to share on our YouTube channel.
Some of you people say about trolling that you openly provoked the speakers.
— many of us are shooting at the meetings. Removed, and the deputies from the liberal democratic party, and deputies from United Russia. Our thought is quite a common thing. No one tied to their chairs, stand up, something to clarify, is removed. In General, there is a living atmosphere.
— what started the conflict?
I walked up to Mr. Bushuyev, Deputy from United Russia, who heads the credentials Committee and, in fact, made the decision to deprive me of speech. Stood silently recorded his statement. He did not respond. All filming used to, are tolerant, understand that video need a good plan and good sound.
And then the next sitting Deputy from United Russia, Mr. Petrov, I began to provoke, to offend. In my address was received threats. He took out his phone, turned on the flashlight to prevent me to remove. All of it captured on video. Next to him sat a fellow party member, Mr. Timashuk, the head physician of the Saratov regional hospital. Insulting me, he began to threaten that will throw a bottle at me. First, he grabbed an empty bottle, but then, apparently, realized that it was not consistent with his intentions, took a full bottle, and with all his strength threw it at my head. This is clearly seen in many frames.
On video it is visible that you immediately join your party, MP Alexander Anidalov. He was sitting above Chipasula and immediately in response doused it with water.
I lifted the bottle, which I ran, tried to get through to the offender, but I began to resist Deputy Petrov, I was talking about. Next popped up a few deputies from United Russia, which began to strike me with their hands, feet, including the presiding officer, and all the rest.
How many people were involved in the brawl?
— About 15-20. And considering that we de��utaty from the Communist party was in the minority, and at the bottom near the speakers, and I stood alone surrounded by deputies from United Russia, it would not be in our favor.
After all this, the Chairman of the Saratov regional Duma Alexander Romanov, instead, to articulate the wrongness of his colleagues in the faction United Russia, on the contrary, said that it is necessary to consider the participation of all members in this scandal, including me. Like I was to blame. And I did never touched, only have shield when they beat me with hands and feet.
what you originally wanted to deny the words?
— within the framework of our performances we voice their opinion on various issues. Sometimes our position, as expressed by our opponents, were unacceptable. In particular, I can Express my opinion quite sharply, but without the use of the Mat. This applies to corruption in the Saratov region, and the amendments to the Constitution, which, in our opinion, can lead to the usurpation of power, to the strengthening of the oligarchic regime. This, according to our opponents, sounded insulting. Although we, the members, have an obligation to voice the opinion of our voters.
— Chairman of the credentials Committee, United Russia’s Nikolai Bushuev commented that on June 16 the working group of the Committee on culture you made offensive expressions against the deputies Zubano and Antonov.
I do not swear, as a member of Chernyshevsky, who actually beat me at the last meeting. A week ago, he being Deputy Chairman of the Committee for culture, sent me and my friend. This all is in the video, posted on the Internet. He was deprived of speech for obscene expression, and for me the fact that I expressed my respect to voting on amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation and a number of other issues, without going to the Mat and insults.
— During a fight you twice doused his opponents with water. How to think, what are the implications of the scandal, hosted by the Parliament on 23 June?
— We insist that the perpetrators be brought to justice. There are videos from different angles, from different points of the room. There were present journalists. The footage shows that it was really beating, and the infliction of physical harm, and — by the crowd. I made an appeal to the Investigative Committee. But I don’t think I’d find the truth there that attacked me, the deputies will bear some responsibility. The system does not hand over his.
United Russia Dmitry Chernyshevsky, in turn, described the scandal in Parliament on 23 June on its Facebook page: “Fun” are the meeting of the Saratov regional Duma. The last, which began with the tantrums of the Communists about the flags with national symbols issued by the faction United Russia, and insults to the President��NTA of Russia, ended the attack completely lost the shore Nikolay Bondarenko, the Deputy of Anatoly Chipasula that age fit to be fathers. In my opinion, the Chairman of the regional Duma have not fulfilled their duties. The requirement to stop insinuations Bondarenko addressed to the President of the country, it was limited to a vague appeal to the credentials Committee that no immediate action is taken, and flags during the break, employees Duma for some reason removed. I flag down refused and did not allow to do so. As a result, the end of the meeting, Bondarenko moved from verbal attacks to physical impacts. When I saw how he came at a very young Anatoly Fedorovich Chipasula, had to intervene and hard to stop lost control of a “blogger”. Good to remember student karate was not necessary. However, I still thought, watching in recent months the escalation of the aggressive behavior of some Communists in the Duma that they quickly sink to blows”.
Deputy Dmitry Chernyshevsky immediately reminded that “Timashuk first threw a water bottle in Bondarenko, for which he paid…” the MP Chernyshevsky later in the review wrote: “it was Nothing serious, bent prick and pushed him away, though I, in General, too seriously older than him, and have not in the best shape. But you’re right. Any action is better than a dismal swamp, especially when it is on the background of social upheaval”.
the Communist Nikolay Bondarenko in the Saratov region has many supporters, he has a reputation as a “truth-teller”, “true Communist”, a “fighter against the regime”. But many of his opponents who believe that he provokes scandals for the sake of hype and getting likes on YouTube.
In social networks quite rapidly discuss the scandal in the Saratov regional Duma. “The deputies nervously Smoking in aside”. “That’s what I understand – politics. Democratic action: kick some face the opponent”. “Fight the shopkeepers at the Bazaar”. “The ambition crossed in the mind. When do arguments in the course are hands, feet, teeth and everything else…” “actually raised his hand Bondarenko, and to all voters that he was elected…” “And these people pass laws, decide how we live!” “Voters no matter who someone is agile in the eye gave, or the bottle got. Clowning! To overclock you should all be there! Shame on you!” “The Duma should be dissolved, until it finally blossomed” – write users.
