Deputy Anatoly Labunets replied with obscenities when asked about the supposed kidnapping of a parliamentary deputy. “On July 1, 2020, the inappropriate reaction of a member of the legislature was recorded on a video and posted on a social network. To be more precise, in an answer to questions asked by reporter Natalya Gesha, the deputy let fly with some crude expressions which harm her honor and dignity and contradict the generally accepted norms of behavior in a democratic society,” the site API reports.
