The speaker of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Vyacheslav Volodin commented on the media information in his Telegram channel that the VKS officer who came to the Moscow restaurant “Magadan” on Druzhinnikovskaya Street in Moscow in military uniform was forced by guards to make his way to the veranda through the bushes so that he “did not scare away visitors.” In the restaurant, the mother of a Russian officer celebrated her birthday.
It is right in such situations — I hope you will support me — to send the guards together with the owner of the restaurant to serve in Donbass,” Volodin wrote.
He noted that soldiers and officers defend Russia and the attitude towards them should be “grateful and respectful.”
Earlier State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein said that he contacted restaurateur Arkady Novikov, who is the owner of the institution, and he said that he was outraged by what happened and noted that all those responsible for this outrage have already been fired.
