MOSCOW, July 15 Russian State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin jokingly asked Deputy Nikolai Kolomeitsev for a list parliamentarians who were «saddened» by the need to come to an unscheduled plenary meeting on Friday. «Nikolai Vasilyevich (Kolomeitsev — ed.), the question arises. You spoke about 150 deputies who were saddened by the need to come to a meeting of the State Duma with whom you communicated. Can I get lists of these deputies from you?» — Volodin said during a meeting on Friday, joking that a communist deputy cannot have secrets from his colleagues. The speaker of the State Duma ironically suggested that in this way the vigilance of people's deputies from other parties was «lulled». «He is doing this on purpose, colleagues, deliberately in order to come to power. You have touched upon the deputies. Here (another communist deputy Nikolai) Kharitonov is rubbing his hands if someone does not come. He has been in the State Duma for 33 years. Thirty three … You (the deputies — ed.) take, listen to enough — and did not come. And they were again elected with Kharitonov! » — Volodin «revealed the plans» of the deputies.
