MP crushed iPad in response to US sanctions and called on Medvedev to do the same
Yaroslavl municipal deputy Dmitry Petrovsky posted a video on his Facebook page where he, in shorts and shoes, destroys the device.
Dmitry Petrovsky, who is a Doctor of Medical Sciences, accompanied his video with the slogan: “Have you trampled on your iPhone? Or an iPad?
The deputy explained his action in the comments to the video: “In our country there is a plan to ban American goods - we are deputies - we must set an example,” Petrovsky wrote.
The deputy said that he would use a Chinese phone and tablet. Moreover, in response to subscribers’ accusations that the Android operating system is an American product, the deputy said that “Android was invented by a Finn, so you don’t have to trample on the Chinese ones.”
Dmitry Petrovsky also called on Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev to get rid of his love for American gadgets.
“I want to see how he tramples on his iPhone, I, as a member of the United Russia faction, did this... Otherwise it’s not fair. If we say that we refuse American products, we start with ourselves. I started,” the deputy wrote.
