Diana Gurtskaya, who in addition to concert activities, is
also a member of the Public Chamber, interceded for a disabled person from
Buryatia, which is rudely denied employment.
Alexey Askhadulin tried to get a singer in the restaurant “Geser”.
However, he was not even allowed to audition. Director of the institution
Natalia Orlova was not satisfied with the disability of a man. During the conversation
Orlova said that the matter was not Askhadulin’s professionalism, but his
disability. After all, people come to this restaurant “first
categories “in order to get aesthetic and moral
pleasure, which is impossible, looking at a blind man.
As a result, Diana Gurtskaya formally requested
Attorney General Yuri Chaika, so he ordered to understand
situations. After all, the norms of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation were violated, as well as
existing norms on the rights of persons with disabilities prohibiting any
discrimination against people with disabilities.
