Former Crimean prosecutor and former State Duma deputy Natalya Poklonskaya refused to answer a question in an interview with journalist Ksenia Sobchak. Their conversation was published above YouTube-channel.
Poklonskaya does not address the topic of romance and harassment in the workplace.
“No, I won't talk about this,” she declared.
Sobchak noted that Poklonskaya worked with the current leader of the LDPR, Leonid Slutsky, who was accused of sexual harassment by several journalists in 2018. Poklonskaya was surprised by this and called the parliamentarian a sweet person.
“He doesn't bother me,” Poklonskaya noted.
The former deputy emphasized that she had a negative attitude towards all signs of harassment. She explained that she had never encountered anything like this during her work.

Slutsky, first commenting on the scandal in 2018, emphasized that the campaign was launched against him “to test the capabilities of the harassment portal in Russia as a discrediting mechanism”: allegedly, his friend living abroad was offered one and a half million dollars for a certain signature in an article stating that he had raped her.
