The representative stated this, reacting to the speech of the chairman of the committee, Elena Yampolskaya.
“Elena Aleksandrovna said everything is absolutely right,” agreed Volodin.

He noted that there are different categories of those who do not agree with the policy of the authorities and went abroad. "There are those who got scared, left, sit, are silent," the speaker explained. "They live on what they have acquired, or work, but at the same time they do not touch the country, do not touch our warring guys. This is one approach."

Another category - "the scoundrels who have gone away live at the expense of the country, receive deductions, fees", but at the same time "the country is poured with mud, their feet are wiped." They have real estate, accounts, business here, Volodin noted.

“Of course, we must respond with you,” he addressed his colleagues. “And, of course, it is possible to adopt changes in legislation in order not only to stop them, but also to protect the memory of those who sacrificed their lives protecting our Fatherland".
The chairman of the TD reminded those who call an excessive measure related to confiscation that "we are talking about violating the law."

"And they should be held accountable for that," he said. "As a rule, other penalties don't reach them."

At the same time, Volodin urged not to cut everyone under one comb, also agreeing with Yampolskaya on this topic. "We have many different figures, so the approach should also be differentiated, with the understanding that one of them has done something," he said. those who left are waiting out difficult or restless times for them, but at the same time they behave correctly - on their conscience, but we all understand that this does not paint a citizen of the Russian Federation.

The speaker proposed to instruct the committee on culture "to consider the incoming questions, evaluate and make proposals, which, perhaps, will become the basis for us to adopt laws."

Earlier, Vyacheslav Volodin initiated the adoption of a "law for scoundrels", which would allow the confiscation of property from those who left and "consider it possible to insult Russia, its inhabitants, soldiers and officers, openly support villains, Nazis and murderers." After that, State Duma Vice Speaker Anna Kuznetsova proposed to seize the housing of citizens who left Russia and transfer it to orphans. The topic of confiscation of the property of the Russians who left the Kremlin is not being discussed, Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, told reporters in the wake of these statements.
