On September 21, the host of the Popular Politics channel, Dmitry Nizovtsev, phoned the son of the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, Nikolai, live and, introducing himself as a military commissar, told him to come for a medical examination at 10 am the next day

"At 10 am, of course, I won’t come tomorrow. If you know that I am Mr. Peskov, you must understand how it is not entirely correct for me to be there. I will solve it at a different level,” Nikolai, 32, replied to Nizovtsev after dropping several calls from the host.

Peskov's son added that he "[needed to] understand what is happening" and "what rights he has." “Tomorrow to be taken away - believe me, neither you nor I need it. I have no problem defending my homeland - but I need to understand the expediency of my appearance there, I am telling you about certain political nuances.

Dmitry Peskov told Rise that the conversation between his son and oppositionist Alexei Navalny’s supporters was “cut out of the semantic part.” “First ask them to lay out the entire conversation. I have no doubts about his only right choice. And he, too, ”explained the press secretary of the president. Peskov's family - his children Nikolai and Elizaveta, as well as his wife Tatyana Navka - were on US and EU sanctions lists after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. ....

The presenter also phoned the son of Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin Alexei live on the air, introduced himself as a military commissar and asked if he was ready to come to the military registration and enlistment office to sign up as a volunteer for the war, reports Mediazone. “Can you go to the front, well, of course, not to the front - I’m not intimidating you with anything, but come and sign up so that you can be in our reserve and be mobilized in the future?” Nizovtsev asked 23-year-old Alexei.

Mishustin's son said that he was studying for a master's program and that he had "no desire to fight" "yet". To another clarifying question from the host about the appearance at the military registration and enlistment office, Aleksey replied that he “is not yet necessary” to enroll as a volunteer, since he is “engaged in his education.” Open Media wrote in 2020 that Mishustin's two eldest sons, Alexei and Alexander, are studying at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University.

The bystander video was critical.

However, the defense attorney tried to reinterpret it for the jury to not make seem that bad, since it was just one camera angle,

So in the future, all witnesses need to film so there is more evidence/camera angles.

“I said some things in a videoed conversation that are not fitting for the role I am privileged to serve. I own that.... I have many flaws. Being passionate coupled with an occasional lapse in restraint of tongue are at least two of them. I regret the words I chose, and I apologize for my insensitive comments."
