Two Russian State Duma members die in one day
Two members of the Russian State Duma, both from the ruling United Russia party, have died on the same day, Russian state-owned news agency TASS reported on April 23.
Dzhasharbek Uzdenov, 56, from Karachay-Cherkessia and Nikolay Bortsov, 77, from Lipetsk Oblast have the same date of death.
Bortsov voted to recognize the puppet authorities in Russian-occupied Donbas and was sentenced in absentia in Ukraine to 15 years in prison.
Uzdenov was ill and missed the vote to recognize the terrorists.
On March 21, Ukraine’s court sentenced 20 members of the Russian State Duma to 15 years in prison for voting to recognize the puppet authorities in Donbas.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
