Malinkovich called for depriving Slutsky of his mandate in the State Duma because of the idea to bury Lenin

The chairman of the non-parliamentary party “Communists of Russia” Sergei Malinkovich intends to appeal to the State Duma with a demand to deprive the head of the LDPR Leonid Slutsky of his mandate because of his proposal to bury the body of Vladimir Lenin along with his mother. Now Messrs. Malinkovich and Slutsky are competitors in the 2024 presidential elections in the Russian Federation (the head of the Communists of Russia is still collecting voter signatures, and the chairman of the LDPR has already received registration as.

“The party will send to the State Duma of the Russian Federation addressed to Vyacheslav Volodin a demand to deprive the deputy of Slutsk of his mandate in connection with his proposal to rebury Lenin, inciting discord in society. Such statements contradict the course towards the consolidation of society during the Northern Military District, this is an irresponsible politician, and he should forever lose his status as a deputy of the Russian parliament,” said Mr. Malinkovich “RIA News”. He stressed that the questions of where Vladimir Lenin’s body should be and whether it should be buried have already been “resolved a long time ago.”

Today, January 21, Mr. Slutsky in his Telegram channel stated that “the repose of the deceased is an important rite for Christians and civilized people, a manifestation of respect and memory,” therefore the body of Vladimir Lenin must be buried. “Vladimir Ilyich himself wanted to be buried next to his mother. I think it’s time to fulfill the will of the revolutionary,” said Leonid Slutsky. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation called the initiative to parliamentarians “provocative” and stated that “Russian communists will never support it in any form.”
