Matvienko says there is no dominance of dollar millionaires in Federation Council

There are only a few senators at the Federation Council who can be considered as dollar millionaires. Anyone who did not want to be under the legal restrictions has left the upper house of the parliament themselves, the Public Chairman of the Federation Council, Valentina Matviyenko, said.

"These are myths of the past. We've got literally a few senators who can be considered dollar millionaires," the speaker of the Federation Council said in an interview published today in Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.
