Additional information:

LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky filed a lawsuit against Davletgildeyev, who in 2018 accused the politician of harassment. The topic then came up on the air of TV Rain. Zhirinovsky insists that the allegations of harassment are false and demands RUB 10 million from Davletgildeyev and TV Rain each. On February 8, 2021, a judge of the Ostankinsky District Court dismissed Vladimir Zhirinovsky’s lawsuit against journalist Renat Davletgildeyev, who told about the politician’s sexual harassment, and TV Rain, on whose air the journalist retold the story.
