Criticism of Leonid Slutsky and scandals
On June 1, 2011, on the day of the Orthodox holiday of the Trinity, Leonid Slutsky, without warning anyone in advance, landed on the territory of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra by helicopter, "which caused considerable surprise, which turned into indignation among the parishioners and church workers." A video has appeared on Youtube showing a Robinson helicopter landing between the patriarch's chambers and the cathedral, where there is no specially equipped helipad.
The deputy explained his action by the fact that he was in a hurry to meet with Patriarch Kirill, but due to traffic jams on the Yaroslavl Highway, he was forced to use the services of a helicopter company. “It was an exceptional case, connected only with a temporary factor, and not my desire to demonstrate status or capabilities, and the incident was settled immediately, on the spot,” Slutsky explained to Interfax about the scandal.
Representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church stood up for the State Duma deputy. The Russian Orthodox Church and the Patriarchate said that they forgave the deputy for his helicopter flight over the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, although they called this act extraordinary.
“The act is really extraordinary, I don’t want to fully justify it, but this case can be called an exception. It must be said that, firstly, Leonid Eduardovich Slutsky did not break into the temple at all during the service - at that time the meal ended and the meeting began with His Holiness the Patriarch, Leonid Eduardovich, who was supposed to present a report, was late for it. Secondly, he, first of all, asked for forgiveness from His Holiness (and received it) and from all those present. He also asked for forgiveness from St. Sergius, the founder of the Lavra, in prayer at his holy relics, ”said then Bishop Daniel of Arkhangelsk and Kholmogory, who was present that day at the residence of Patriarch Kirill in the Lavra.
He also noted that he knows Deputy Slutsky as an "honest, open and active person who works hard for the good of the Russian Orthodox Church."
“This act lies more in the realm of morality. You came not just to admire the birch trees, but you came to the temple of God. Probably, you need to walk to the temple with your legs, and not land at the temple by helicopter, which is highly unethical. Perhaps, according to the law, he did not violate anything - except the moral law. I consider this act unacceptable, ”the chairman of the Central All-Russian Society for the Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments commented on the situation to RIA Novosti Galina Malanicheva.
Harassment allegations and media boycott
The accusation of Leonid Slutsky in sexual harassment became an important topic in the news Russian media beginning of 2018.
The story began in February 2018, when the Dozhd TV channel reported on Slutsky's sexual harassment of two correspondents and one producer, who acted as a source of information on condition of anonymity. In the future, this was openly stated by the correspondent of the BBC Russian Service Farida Rustamova and producer of the TV channel "Rain" Daria Zhuk, who were among the "anonymous accusers", they sent official letter addressed to the head of the Duma commission Otari Arshba asking for an investigation.
BBC correspondent Farida Rustamova said that in March 2017 she came to Leonid Slutsky to take a comment about the visit to Moscow of a French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen. According to Rustamova, Slutsky during an interview suggested that she quit her job and become his mistress. As Novaya Gazeta wrote, according to Rustamova, Leonid Slutsky approached her with the words “come on, bunny, there will be a mood, look in, I miss you” and “passed his hand, the inside of his palm, up my pubis.” In the news of sexual harassment, an audio recording was reported, which is in the possession of the BBC, the transcript was published. According to this transcript, Slutsky admitted in a conversation with Rustamova that he "dissolved his hands a little", but "did it beautifully."

In particular, Ekaterina Kotrikadze said that seven years ago she was harassed by a State Duma deputy when she was an employee of Georgian television and arrived at Slutsky's office to arrange an interview.

I broke free, ran away,” said Ekaterina Kotrikadze, adding that they face similar attitudes in Russian authorities many journalists in power, Meduza news reported.
Journalist for Vedomosti, correspondent for the parliamentary pool Olga Churakova in an article about the scandal with Leonid Slutsky, she wrote that she knew that "the chairman of the committee on international affairs is, let's say, not restrained in emotions." “Deputies who have known Slutsky for many years admit that he is loving. Both the apparatus and the leadership of the State Duma are aware of the extravagant behavior of Mr. Slutsky. Some correspondents asked men working in the State Duma to go to Slutsky together for a comment. In private conversations, even colleagues in the faction recognized the oddities in Slutsky's behavior, ”she said in a note.
Leonid Slutsky himself called accusations of sexual harassment a "low-grade provocation", threatening the Dozhd TV channel with a lawsuit, Wikipedia reports.
“Regarding allegations of sexual harassment, I can state the following: attempts to make Slutsk a Russian Harvey Weinstein most of all look like a cheap, low-grade provocation. And - unfortunately, for the initiators of these attempts! are doomed to fail. If someone has claims against me, then let these people express them to my face. And I am not going to respond to stuffing, which, by the way, is quite in the spirit of the Dozhd TV channel. It is clear that the whole strategy of the so-called opposition journalist is based on banal bad-mouthing. From a business point of view, it’s hard to find fault with me, so they invented “harassment”,” wrote Leonid Slutsky on Facebook.
A number of deputies spoke in defense of Slutsky, including the "women's club" of the State Duma (co-chairs from different factions: Elena Serova, Olga Epifanova, Tamara Pletneva, Elena Strokova). “In connection with anonymous reports about the allegedly defamatory behavior of Leonid Slutsky, we declare that we consider such information a provocation,” the statement of women deputies was quoted in the news.
The head of the Liberal Democratic Party, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, called the accusations ridiculous, and the injured journalists were "evil squalor" and "creatures." “For such accusations, these evil squalor (you can’t call it otherwise), who received another assignment from the West, needed a bright, non-standard person, well, who was successful with women. This is how Slutsky appeared. Only these evil creatures miscalculated. Slutsky holds a blow very well, and we will support him, ”said Zhirinovsky.
The side of Slutsky was also taken by the commissioner for human rights in Russian Tatyana Moskalkova calling the allegations a heinous lie.
February 28 Speaker of the State Duma Viacheslav Volodin commented on the allegations of harassment against Leonid Slutsky, urging the participants in the conflict to remain within the legal framework. “All the situations voiced cannot but worry, and no one will pass by them,” Volodin said, adding that he was not aware of Slutsky’s harassment of journalists, although “we constantly communicate with journalists from the parliamentary pool, and in any case this has become would be a reason for the trial, ”the speaker was quoted in RBC news.
The Independent Trade Union of Journalists and Media Workers urged foreign correspondents to ignore Slutsky's opinion as head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs "until he is held accountable for his actions," Meduza reported.
“There has never been such a thing. I can only say that this has never happened and women have never complained and, I think, will not complain about wrong actions on my part, ”Leonid Slutsky said about the allegations of harassment on March 1.
March 8 candidate for the presidency of Russia Ksenia Sobchak held a single picket near the walls of the State Duma demanding the resignation of the deputy, as RIA Novosti reported, Sobchak announced her appeal to the State Duma commission on parliamentary ethics with a request to verify information about harassment by Slutsky. At the walls of the State Duma, a candidate for the presidency of Russia stood with a poster on which it was written: “Deputies! We don't want you!"
On March 8, 2018, congratulating women on the holiday on Facebook, Leonid Slutsky asked for forgiveness from those of them “who have ever voluntarily or involuntarily caused any feelings.” At the same time, the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, commenting on the scandal with accusations of State Duma deputy Leonid Slutsky of sexual harassment, she spoke about the incident that occurred between them several years ago during the "St. Petersburg forum". Maria Zakharova said that she was talking to people when Slutsky entered the room.
“And he sits down and starts somehow, not getting involved in the conversation, starts saying some such things, well, as always:“ Hey, girl, what are you talking about! ”Well, some of these things are very strange.” According to the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she decided to respond to Slutsky's remark. “I say:“ You know, I don’t really understand what you are saying, and I don’t really like listening to it. Maybe I don't understand something?' And then something like this happened: he stopped. What struck me then was that after that, never in my life, although, I say again, no one knew me then, and so on, not once in my life did he allow himself anything like that, no such things that could even be interpreted in two ways ", - said Zakharova.
After the presidential elections on March 21, 2018, the Duma Commission on Ethics, headed by Otari Arshba, found no violations in the behavior of Deputy Slutsky.

Later, Dmitry Peskov expressed confidence that the deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation and representatives of the domestic media would be able to build their own relationships without resorting to the help of the presidential administration.
“It is unlikely that there is a field for the president to mediate, I think that, naturally, our legislators in this case can build relations with the means themselves. mass media”, RIA Novosti quoted him.
It is worth noting that the BBC Russian Service, continuing to support its correspondent Rustamova, who accused Slutsky of sexual harassment, decided to continue covering the activities of the parliament “in the interests of our audience in Russia and in the world.” Head of the Union of Journalists of Moscow Pavel Gusev called the recall of parliamentary journalists "absolutely the wrong decision."
The showman commented on the story with Slutsky Semyon Slepakov. The comedian described on Facebook how he was personally "harassed" by the deputy, referring to Leonid Slutsky's attempt to involve the humorist in holding his wife's birthday as a replacement Ivan Urgant. “Barely moving my legs, I left the State Duma. I walked and thought: why, having such specialists in international politics, Russia has not yet defended its interests on all painful issues, has not joined NATO, has not forced America to destroy all its nuclear potential, and has not achieved world domination at all? This thought has been tormenting me for five years. That's why I decided to publish this story. Suddenly, it will serve the benefit of the Motherland, and Leonid Eduardovich will be used for his intended purpose, ”Slepakov summed up his publication.
