About two-thirds of the deputies of the State Duma of the previous convocation oppose Russia's aggression against Ukraine.

This in an interview with the publication "Gordon" shortly before the death, said an ex-deputy of the State Duma, who took citizenship of Ukraine, Denis Voronenkov.

According to him, out of the 450 former people's deputies, his point of view regarding the war with Ukraine is shared by "a man of 300".

"All intelligent, intelligent people come to the State Duma, but they are hostages: if they want to stay afloat, have income - they will vote in the way the Kremlin needs. Already five of my former colleagues in parliament left Russia. They were afraid to move to Ukraine, moved to the Baltic countries and the UK, "he explained..

Voronenkov stressed that now in Russia "wolf time, insane and panic in the elites".

"Nobody really knows what's next. All around are persecuted, some are already in prison, others are quiet and afraid. In Russia, virtually every politician and economically active citizen has a criminal case, "he added..

Recall that in 2016, Voronenkov fled to Ukraine because of the "illegal and unfair" criminal prosecution by Russian law enforcers.

Later, the former deputy confirmed that he received the citizenship of Ukraine and is not going to return to Russia in the near future.

As reported by the "Observer", Voronenkov was shot dead by a hitman on March 23 in the center of Kiev.
