Sergey Glazyev and Dmitry Rogozin, deputies of the State Duma, proposed that the State Duma should put the issue of Anatoly Chubais's resignation before the Prime Minister. Mr. Chubais is the head of RAO Unified Energy Systems of Russia (RAO UES).
At the initiative of the two deputies, the State Duma decided to consider on November 28 a draft appeal to Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov about the necessity of holding an emergency meeting of RAO UES' shareholders and the dismissal of Anatoly Chubais as CEO of RAO UES.
"He has to choose among three posts - either to be the manager of the company, or the leader of an anti-presidential party, or represent the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs," Mr. Rogozin said.
"Mr. Chubais uses every opportunity to establish absolute control of the country's electrical energy sector and to support the Union of Right Forces (SPS) party in its struggle with the President over the case of oligarchs," he added. Mr. Rogozin believes that, if Mr. Chubais is unable to decide by himself, "perhaps we will have to ask the Prime Minister for help".
Mr. Chubais responded to the State Duma's decision by calling it a parody. "Another attempt to dismiss me as head of RAO UES - burlesque actions like in a circus," he said. "It is the 64th time that this issue has been discussed," Mr. Chubais added.
