State Duma deputy, deputy leader of the LDPR faction, chairman of the Duma Committee on Affairs of Public Associations and Religious Organizations
I have known Mikhail Degtyarev for quite a long time through work; before his election to the State Duma, he was a deputy of the Samara Regional Duma. Every time we, as part of the delegation of the LDPR faction headed by its leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky, came to the Samara region, Degtyarev always organized all the events well. Everything was always clearly and competently planned. I remember him then as an active, creative young man who came up with various new forms of propaganda.
He is a team man, a man of his word.
He can perform, he can speak, he has intelligence.
He is deputy chairman of the science committee. Master of Sports in fencing.
He is a strong family man, he has very correct views on family values and relationships: he has two children and lives with his wife.
If Degtyarev wins, he will be a modern, creative, commanding mayor. If elected, of course, there will be a new team of young and energetic people who are not burdened with all these Luzhkov ties. They think exclusively using modern methods - how they should, how they can and how they should. We live in the age of the Internet, but today many people are still trying to count their accounts—which, by definition, we simply cannot have in the LDPR.
The biography of Mikhail Degtyarev described in this article is full of significant events. He is a Russian politician and public figure, a member of the LDPR party.

Views of Mikhail Degtyarev
In 2013, a parliamentarian from the LDPR faction and candidate for mayor of Moscow, Mikhail Degtyarev, introduced a bill that would allow, through the courts, to deprive those who like to make noise in an apartment for repeatedly disturbing the peace and quiet of citizens.
Then Mikhail Degtyarev announced that he intended to propose amendments to the law “On Blood Donation.” According to the parliamentarian, this initiative is not discrimination, since 65% of those infected with HIV are gays.
Degtyarev, who is deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Science and High Technologies, explained that doctors will find out the sexual orientation of donors by asking citizens about it before donating blood. The people's representative recalled that a ban on donating blood for homosexuals is in force in the United States, as well as in many European countries.
Then the Parliamentarian proposed to assign such traditional features as a red nose, a long caftan and the Snow Maiden to Father Frost, so that the domestic symbol of the New Year would not be supplanted by its American counterpart, Santa Claus.
“Santa is replacing our symbols,” Degtyarev said. “It undermines cultural sovereignty and the sovereignty of the spirit.”
According to him, the idea to ban any image of Santa Claus on Russian territory came to his mind after he saw Santa in the hall of the State Duma.
Mikhail Degtyarev sent an appeal to the Russian Language Institute. V.V. Vinogradova Russian Academy of Sciences, in which he recalled that until 1917 in Russia, Ukrainian territories were called Little Russia or Little Russia.
Mikhail Degtyarev told reporters that he wants to achieve the use of the term “Little Russia” along with the official name of the country. According to him, politicians and media representatives should be the first to start calling Ukraine Little Russia, and only then will other Russian citizens pick it up.
Also, according to Mikhail Degtyarev, it is necessary to replace the current white-blue-red flag of the Russian Federation with the imperial black-yellow-white tricolor. A member of the LDPR faction in the State Duma is confident that this needs to be done, since Russia is again becoming a real empire, as evidenced, for example, by the annexation of Crimea to the Russian Federation and the growth of patriotic sentiments. Mikhail Degtyarev is confident that the flag, under which “our ancestors won brilliant victories, is still capable of uniting all citizens of Russia today.”
Mikhail Degtyarev appealed to the Russian Foreign Ministry with a request to check who owns the lands of the former Russian settlement in California. The parliamentarian has already sent a corresponding request to the department, the news reported.
According to Degtyarev, the entire history of the United States in the sphere of building a state and taking possession of land and property is murder, robbery and terror. “But we are not Indians who were evicted by the Americans,” said the deputy. “We are Russians and we just want to get money for our land according to the law.”
In May 2018, the head of the State Duma Committee on Physical Culture, Sports, Tourism and Youth Affairs, Mikhail Degtyarev, told reporters that he had sent a parliamentary request to the Ministry of Health, in which he called for Moscow to be given the status of a resort city.
