The former “silent ones” in the new Duma
Of the 230 newly elected deputies, 20 parliamentarians in the last convocation never spoke at meetings in the last convocation of the State Duma, it follows from the transcripts on the State Duma website. Almost all of them—17 out of 20 parliamentarians — from «United Russia», two more from the Communist Party and one from the LDPR. The number of “molchunov”, in particular, included the former first vice-mayor of Moscow Vladimir Resin, the leader of the last Duma in revenue for 2020 Grigory Anikeev and polar explorer, Hero of Russia Artur Chilingarov.
Zelimkhan Mutsoev, a former participant in the list of the richest businessmen in Russia according to Forbes, and Andrei Skoch, who together with his family in 2021 got into the list of the richest businessmen of Forbes with $8.6 billion (21st place), also did not have a single remark for the convocation.

Despite the absence of speeches, LDPR deputy Dmitry Svishchev introduced 101 bills for the convocation, and Communist Party parliamentarians Boris Ivanyuzhenkov and Anatoly Bifov – 9 and 41, respectively.
