Sergey Mironov, Chairman of the Federation Council (Russian parliament’s upper chamber) and leader of the “Fair Russia” party, stated in a TV interview that he disagreed with certain measures taken by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, including the government's budget and anti-crisis plan. Leaders of the ruling “United Russia” party (headed by Putin) responded that Mironov's statements are "dishonorable and inconsistent," and suggested that he be dismissed. High-ranking “United Russia” functionary Andrey Isayev compared Moronov with “a rat trying to leave the ship.” Mironov countered that under current law he cannot be dismissed for expressing disagreement with the Prime Minister.
