Russian elected officials against Vladimir Putin

People are wondering on Twitter and wondering if a dismissal of Vladimir Putin has really been demanded by Russian elected officials. This process was really initiated by elected officials such as those of the Saint Petersburg City Council, which encourages the deputies of Parliament to file a complaint against the President which would lead to the dismissal of Vladimir Putin. A high treason is invoked. A possible dismissal procedure is legal.

Despite the legality of the process, the chance of seeing a procedure initiated is very low. “The objective is to show that there is an opposition, to give hope and to show that there are still active citizens in Russia.”describes Nina Berezner, independent expert on the observation of political life in Russia. The elected officials who demanded the establishment of a dismissal procedure were summoned by the police. A Muscovite elected official had been sentenced to seven years in prison after showing his opposition to the President.
