The attacker was detained by the guard of the event, the police came to the scene, a protocol was drawn up. "Mr. Shaposhnikov was also at the event, and his assistant was left below" to wait "," Chudinova said..

Perhaps, we are talking about an incident on TV debates on February 28, during which Zhirinovsky quarreled with Sobchak. First, the politician called the journalist a "bazaar girl," she poured water on him, after which the leader of the LDPR switched to mate, and Sobchak asked him if he thought it normal to talk with a woman.
