Igor Chkalov is a representative of the International Chkalov Memorial Fund. He said that Bogdanova was the only one from the family who left Russia. According to him, she left about 15 years ago not for political reasons.

Chkalov noted that at the beginning of the special military operation, Bogdanova collected money for civilians in Ukraine. He emphasized that his relative’s words greatly upset him, because the whole family lives in Russia. Relatives do not share Daria’s views, RT’s interlocutor emphasized.   

“A sane person could not express such a position. This is just an attempt at hype in a very dubious field due to one’s own stupidity and under the influence of external factors, which consist of anti-Russian propaganda in Europe and the influence of one’s spouse,” he said. 

Earlier, Chkalov’s great-granddaughter Daria Bogdanova, who supports the Armed Forces of Ukraine, called for a nuclear strike on Moscow.

Senator, member of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building Olga Kovitidi, in a conversation with RT, condemned Bogdanova’s calls to launch a nuclear strike on Moscow.
