Press release, 19.11.2014
Deputies of St.Petersburg Legislative Assembly refused to include the appeal to Minister of Communications and the Media Nikolai Nikiforiv in support of the Ekho Moskvy radio station in the agenda. The appeal was introduced by YABLOKO’s Boris Vishnevsky and a Just Russia deputy Marina Shishkina. Only 14 deputies out of 50 voted for inclusion of the issue in the agenda: all YABLOKO faction deputies, 7 deputies from Just Russia (out of 12) and 1 deputy from the Communist party (out of 7). In addition to that the “parliamentary majority” refused to request a roll vote.
According to Boris Vishnevsky, the authors of the appeal would collect signatures of the deputies under the document and spread it on their own account.
