“Despite the fact that we were in different parties, we did one thing together. We defended the peasants, the peasantry. Very hard to say, very tragic situation. In our work in the agrarian committee, we tried to work as much as possible on the development of rural areas, first of all, so that people of work did not want to leave, but worked where they like to live, ”said the deputy.

He also noted that the committee held many different hearings and round tables to which the whole country came.

“As a result, our committee, including Ayrat and I, were the co-authors of many laws, all of which are aimed at developing our agricultural industry, so that agriculture in Russia develops. Of course, you see that over the past three or four years, agriculture has made a significant breakthrough - this is the common merit of everyone: the Ministry, and our committee, and deputies, including, of course, Ayrat, ”Lebedev concluded.

Earlier it became known that as a result of the accident with a helicopter in Tatarstan, State Duma deputy Airat Khairullin was killed.
