In a press-service of the Ministry of culture told RNS that the Ministry is preparing a lawsuit after the publication of the Center for anti-corruption policy of the party “Yabloko”.
“Once again the opposition through the media, trying to attract attention based on speculation and data from several years ago. Currently preparing a lawsuit on protection of honor and dignity”, — said the Agency, stressing that the information “does not correspond to reality and denigrates the reputation of the office”.
