"The Standing Committee of the PACE has just refused to hold the debates on return of the Russian Federation to the PACE. Moreover, there will be debates on the topic 'Democracy is broken - which answer there will be'. I am happy that the PACE has put the stresses correctly," he wrote.
On November 21, in the agenda of the Standing Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe there appeared debates to discuss among other issues the question of resumption of the participation of the Russian delegation in the PACE.
