“This is not just unprecedented: it’s some Soviet rules,” Skaliz quoted Interfax as saying about the draft resolution governing the further work of the congress on the issue of impeachment.

Congressman added that in the USSR it might have been permissible to act in this way.

During his speech, he placed a poster next to him on which was depicted St. Basil's Cathedral, and also posted the inscription: "37 days of impeachment in the Soviet style."

Earlier, members of the House of Representatives of the US Congress approved a resolution according to which the investigation into the possibility of impeachment of Trump goes into the public phase.
