In October, Nikolai Bondarenko, a deputy to the Saratov Oblast Duma from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, decided to conduct an experiment after a dispute with Natalia Sokolova, ex-Minister of Labor of the region. The politician sat down on the "ministerial diet", which is to eat at 3.5 thousand rubles a month.
According to him, in three weeks of the “ministerial diet” he lost 6 kg. At the same time, he added that during the period of the experiment he did not seek medical help.
