Alexander Makarov, chairman of the St. Petersburg government committee on state use and conservation of monuments, filed a lawsuit against Ksenia Sobchak with the Tverskoy court in Moscow. The official accuses the secular lioness of having insulted his honor, dignity and business reputation.
It all started with the message Sobchak on the microblog Twitter. Ksenia wrote that "the chairman of the SPIU Makarov requested a list of Jews working on the committee and dismissed them." In the same note, she clarified that although the information was very strange, some high-ranking officials officially confirmed it.
Makarov himself, or rather, the press service of the committee instantly denied this statement. The release explained that the reason for dismissal in this serious organization could be only unprofessionalism, but not belonging to one or another nationality. Also, officials said that the chairman of the committee never requested any lists from subordinates and did not fire anyone, and KGIOP will continue to operate according to the staffing table, which was approved earlier.

And at the same time present the names of high-ranking people who allegedly confirmed information about the upcoming dismissals of Jews. In addition, the TV presenter recommended removing the scandalous entry from her microblog.
