the reason this matters is that your company accused the state duma deputy leonid slutsky.im, which he denied. and people saw this as a double standard, when it actually happens to someone within your own organisation. i'm afraid i could not say i am 0k with this statement, because leonid slutsky denied all the incidents, and inside meduza's staff, there were no denials. it was an editorial meeting, when ivan brought his apologies about his words, just about his words and his behaviour, and those apologies were accepted. they were no denials. denial is a part of a crime. you yourself said at the time, those who look at themselves in the mirror and claim they have never made any mistakes or done anything nasty in their life are either liars... yes — it was a very rudejoke, very rude. but it prompted not least the likes of russia today's chief editor, margarita simonyan, to talk about the hypocrisy of the so—called liberal clique. the ftjournalist max seddon — if meduza is going to style itself as the most progressive russian media, they need to do a hell of a lot better. wha
