When you promote something called “the Russian law” I think a punch in the face is a good start.
Man, the American legislature is so boring compared to this. It needs more brawls.
You can find incidents like this regularly all over Eastern Europe and the Balkans lol. The Ukrainian Parliament used to be very entertaining before 2022.
Didn’t the Serbian legislative body fucking gas themselves with CS a few years back?
I don’t know, but it looks like the Kosovars are way ahead:

Protesting opposition MPs in Kosovo have released tear gas in parliament for the sixth time in just over two months, disrupting a vote on the government’s 2016 budget.
It looks like by that time, the police had apparently gotten kind of used to it and prepared:
A large group of plainclothes police officers donned gas masks as the chamber was cleared.
The Italian legislature regularly gets into brawls too.
This was over the majority party’s bill requiring any organization (charity, NGO, corporation, etc) who takes foreign money to register as a “foreign agent.” The purpose, as described by the PM promoting the bill, is to stop liberal viewpoints from infiltrating their country. At the same time, they are applying to get into the EU, which requires liberal operations/view/laws/whatever. He said he is confused why the EU is opposed to it.
That’s a pretty odd punch.
Looks like that was just his opener.
“The Preamble”
Punch happens. Everyone jumps up and starts running around and screaming. One MP in a suit and one MP wearing a Flag of Europe as a cloak don’t stand up or even move.
