Kursk deputy believes that his video from vacation in Mexico was stolen

The deputy of the Kursk Regional Duma Maxim Vasilyev (self-nominated) said that he was preparing a statement to law enforcement agencies to find out how his personal video from a vacation in Mexico got into the network. We are talking about a video in which a parliamentarian on the beach wishes Happy New Year, drinks a cocktail and eats shrimp.

“The act, as it was presented, looks like inappropriate, like bragging and feasting at a time when the country is in a difficult situation. But it was a joke video for a personal archive, which was actually stolen,” says Mr. Vasiliev in a video message to “In contact with”. After the publication of the note, the governor of the Kursk region Roman Starovoit demanded that the behavior of the deputy be considered at the profile commission in the Duma, and the head of the secretary of the General Council of United Russia, Andrei Turchak, suggested that the deputy could be pushed to resign by “Wagner’s sledgehammer.”

The video, according to the deputy, was recorded exclusively for family members. Mr. Maksimov clarified that his wife Svetlana, who represents United Russia in the city assembly of Kursk, did not take part in his recording. He asked the haters to stop wishing him dead. “People make mistakes and they are responsible for those mistakes. But to promise death from the “Wagner sledgehammer” for a stupid joke is, in my opinion, a bit too much,” the deputy summed up, asking for forgiveness from everyone who was offended by his video.
