Russian MP sues colleague who compared him to a transgender
The municipal deputy of the Metallurgical District of Chelyabinsk, Sergei Astafiev, filed a lawsuit against City Duma deputy Vladimir Kornev, who compared him to a transgender.
Kornev announced this on his page on the social network VKontakte.
According to the parliamentarian, he was outraged that in his free time from parliamentary activity, Astafiev “popularized the need for male beauty in social networks” and published videos from facial treatments at a beautician. Because of this, Kornev compared his colleague with the Austrian pop singer Conchita Wurst, who is the stage image of the singer Thomas Neuwirth, who performed at Eurovision in 2014.
To reinforce his position, Kornev replaced the face of a pop star in one of the photos with the face of a municipal deputy and published the result on social networks. In addition, he arranged a survey among subscribers about how similar Astafiev and Wurst, whom the city parliamentarian called a transgender. “Shame on this behavior! One pimples publicly presses, and the other paints over hair and cilia from gray hair. Shame on such “alternatives,” Kornev wrote.
He did not provide details of the claim. In turn, Astafiev did not comment on the situation. At the moment, on the page of the deputy of the Metallurgical District on VKontakte, there are videos with cosmetic procedures hzikhidtidekrt No.
