Well-Known Politician Estimates Liquidation Of TV-6 As Political Pressure

Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Irina Khakamada, who is also one of the leaders of the Union of Right Forces, considers the decision of the Arbitration Court on the liquidation of TV-6 as political pressure of authorities on this television company despite the formal legal character of the court's decision. Khakamada expressed this opinion in an interview with RBC today. The parliamentarian thinks that Yevgeny Kiselyov and Boris Berezovsky are the main figures that authorities have claims against. She believes that the fate of TV-6 demonstrates attempts of Russian authorities to liquidate all opponents who own any information television channels.
