The State Duma explained the ban on filming deputies in the plenary hall

On January 28, Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin commented on the ban on photographing deputies in the plenary hall, noting that such a practice could contribute to the manifestation of "wrong" character traits in photographers.

"Why make a show of your work? For what? And then, why promote the development of the most, if you will, not very correct character traits — to peek, to peek," Volodin said, quoted by Duma TV.

He also noted that the State Duma operates in an open mode, and all plenary sessions are "broadcast on the Internet in real time."
