He also plans to appeal to the chairman of the Moscow City Duma with a request to make “an appropriate decision regarding the deputy.”

Mr. Zakuskin received a call from State Duma deputy from Chechnya Adam Delimkhanov (United Russia). ChGTRK “Grozny” claims that the Moscow deputy promised to apologize to the woman and “make every effort to make amends.”

State Duma Vice Speaker Pyotr Tolstoy said that if the information is confirmed, Mr. Zakuskin will be expelled from the party “so as not to disgrace his colleagues.” “His future political career will also be in big question, I promise. To insult people, to try to use force, especially against a woman, is not allowed for anyone, ”wrote Mr. Tolstoy in Telegram.
