Seven deputies of the St. Petersburg municipality "Smolninskoye" were summoned to the police to draw up protocols on the "discredit" of the army. Mediazona writes about this with reference to one of them, deputy Dmitry Palyuga.
The report of the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Central District of St. Petersburg says that on September 7, the municipal deputies committed "actions aimed at discrediting the current government."
On that day, the Smolninsky deputies reported that they had applied to the State Duma with a proposal to remove President Vladimir Putin from office "in connection with high treason."
Their appeal, in part, said that Putin's decision to attack Ukraine "harms the security of Russia and its citizens," as the Russian army loses its combat-ready units, and citizens become disabled.
The deputies also drew attention to the fact that the withdrawal of foreign companies from the market and the emigration of the educated population cannot "pass without a trace for the economic well-being of Russian citizens."
