In the Duma side, those things did not stir any ripples at all.
After all, it was nothing more than the arrest of several insignificant "foreigners" and the clearing out of a bunch of incompetent police officers. Such minor affairs wouldn't bother the "distinguished" Duma members in the slightest.
What they have been paying attention to recently is much more important!
As each faction begins their early election "preparations", most congressmen are beginning to take action.
It should be noted that the elections are not just about the factions but are also about the future of every single congressman!
Once the term of all 450 Duma members expires next year, everyone will be facing different futures.
Some congressmen will not only be re-elected but might even progress further, like joining a certain committee of the Duma.
This kind of congressman naturally is the backbone of each faction and they are the ones with the most influence within the faction.
