“Take care of your internal issues, take care of the rights of citizens.
You disperse them in winter, pour water on them, beat them with clubs, you use tear gas, rubber bullets.
What standards can you introduce to us, besides the fact that after recruiting some citizens, then throw them away as unnecessary waste materials? "
- wrote Volodin in Telegram.
He called on the US and Western journalists to "behave themselves."
“The whole world can slide into this horror.
There are countries, which include the United States of America, Britain, and European states that can stop this slide, but at the same time they have to give up their ambitions, not standards, "the State Duma speaker emphasized.
Volodin recalled the "boorish attitude" towards the Russian media in the US Congress.
“Guys, you are always present in our country, you participate in parliamentary pools, you have the opportunity to ask us.
I stand in front of you and explain our policy.
But, excuse me, if Mrs. Pelosi invited our Sputnik or RT to tell and explain why they behave this way, it would be more clear to us, ”he added.
On April 19, Viacheslav Volodin invited Western politicians and cultural figures concerned about the observance of human rights in Russia to make statements in connection with the situation around Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.
He noted that they acted “in the best interest of the world's citizens” when they released information and advocated for human rights.
