Krasnov said this, speaking in the State Duma.
On November 22, deputies in the State Duma commission on mandate issues were recommended to approve the deprivation of parliamentary immunity from a member of the Communist Party faction Valery Rashkin after the incident with the elk.
Earlier, Rashkin, in a video message on YouTube, confessed to killing an elk.
He noted that while hunting with a thermal imager, he saw the silhouette of an artiodactyl, which outwardly resembles a large wild boar.
