MOSCOW. March 15 (Interfax) - A Just Russia party MP Dmitry Gudkov has said he regrets a decision made by representatives of the State Duma's four factions to condemn his trip to the United States in a letter to the chamber's ethics commission.
"Regrettably, the four factions have turned into one political party, which is interested in advocating the interests of Russian corrupt officials," he told Interfax on Friday.
Gudkov said he was certain that these steps would come under strong criticism from people.
Members of all four factions in the State Duma earlier asked the chamber's ethics commission to give an assessment of Gudkov's participation in a forum held in the United States.
