The head of the organization was outraged not only by Lebedev’s words in an interview with Dudu*** about herself personally and the organization she heads, she also recalled statements about the organization “Mothers of Beslan” and called on activists to join the lawsuit.
Mizulina also addressed the chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia. Alexander Bastrykincalling to appreciate the designer’s words about the monument to the “Motherland” on Mamayev Kurgan in Volgograd.
“Dear Alexander Ivanovich! Do you also think that the monument “The Motherland Calls!” on Mamayev Kurgan is “garbage that cannot be demolished”? — Mizulina was outraged and asked to consider this post as an official appeal.
Lebedev responded by publishing a sort of apology addressed personally to Mizulina and her organization.
“When we talked about Mizulina in a conversation with Yuri Dudem, the conversation somehow took such a direction that one could get the feeling that I was insulting Catherine. I would like to apologize at this moment because this is not at all what I would like to do. I never insult people so directly, much less fight against women.” – Lebedev explained.
At the same time, she acknowledged the right of the head of the organisation to go to court, as Mizulina had previously announced.
Mizulina said she “does not accept the so-called ‘apology.’” She also asked the VK company, where Lebedev works, to evaluate the interview of its employee with the foreign agent.
