Deputy Piskarev: American media and NGOs tried to interfere in the elections in Russia
American media, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and diplomats interfered in the elections in Russia. This was stated by the head of the State Duma commission for the investigation of foreign interference in the affairs of the Russian Federation Vasily Piskarev, writes RIA Novosti.
“American media, non-governmental organizations and diplomats worked closely together to interfere in the Russian elections. Thus, the US Embassy in Moscow did not even try to hide its actions,” the MP made accusations.
According to Piskarev, foreign agents and relocates who had fled abroad acted as extras in the operation to interfere in the elections, supporting it according to the State Department’s guidelines.
Earlier, Vasily Piskarev spoke about the failure of Western provocations in the elections in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other regions of Russia. According to the deputy, the elections were held in full compliance with Russian laws.
Earlier, journalist Tucker Carlson explained the US actions against Russian media and suggested that the authorities are stifling criticism of the Biden administration in this way.
