Deputies in St. Petersburg suggest State Duma charge Putin with high treason
the Insider ^ | 8 September 2022 | The Insider

Municipal deputies for the Smolninskoye District in St. Petersburg plan to submit a petition to the State Duma (the Russian parliament) to charge Russian president Vladimir Putin with high treason for unleashing the war in Ukraine. Deputy Dmitry Palyuga announced the intention on Twitter.

According to Palyuga, “the majority of deputies in attendance supported the decision.” In conversation with The Insider, he specified that seven out of ten voted in favor of the initiative.

According to its sponsors, Putin’s actions since the beginning of the “special military operation” fall under Article 93 of the Russian Constitution, which stipulates for the president's impeachment based on charges of high treason or other serious crimes brought against them by the State Duma...

“While the Russian president declared the demilitarization of Ukraine as one of his goals, we are witnessing the opposite happen. This is not to say that we stand in full support of the goals declared by President Putin, but even in his own terms, he is harming Russia's national security,” Palyuga explained to The Insider. “We want to let people know that there are deputies who are opposed to the current policy and who believe that Putin is harming Russia. We also want to let them know we are not afraid to speak out.”

This is the municipal district in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smolninskoye_Municipal_Okrug

For a municipality of under 80,000 people, we have seven of ten deputies agreeing to submit a petition to the State Duma for their consideration. It’d be the equivalent of the city council of Burbank, CA submitting a petition to Congress.

If it actually gets a passing vote in the Duma, then I’ll be interested.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Too much propaganda from both sides.

Dmitry Palyuga will shortly fall out of a hospital window.

They'll probably accidentally cut their heads off while shaving.

A deputy in the Duma just got a seven-year sentence for objecting to the war. A journalist just got a 22-year sentence (treason) for objecting to the war.
