Deputies from the outspoken nationalist LDPR faction of the Russian State Duma on Friday said they will prepare a criminal suit against former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, the Interfax news agency reports.
Deputy Sergei Abeltsev said at the Friday session of the lower house that he wanted to put forward an initiative to cancel ex-president Gorbachev’s immunity and to launch a criminal probe against him. Abeltsev called Gorbachev “the main initiator of the Soviet Union’s collapse and the main culprit of ”all our woes“.
Another deputy, Victor Ilyukhin of the Communist Party Faction, supported the initiative and said that he would gladly work on the draft of the resolution. He added that he possessed information that could lead to the instigation of a criminal case against Gorbachev.
”These facts need a lawyer’s appraisal,“ Ilyukhin said.
