A Russian MP who has been accused by several women of improper behavior has asked forgiveness for hurting their feelings \u201cin some way.\u201d <\/p>\n

In a short Facebook post on Thursday, as Russia celebrates International Women\u2019s Day, Leonid Slutsky apparently addressed the recent accusations against him. Addressing all women, he said he wanted \u201cto ask forgiveness from those of you whose feelings I hurt in some way. Believe me, it was not done out of malice.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Earlier, several female journalists accused Slutsky of making improper advances at them, including groping, during interviews. This includes BBC Russian Service reporter Farida Rustamova and RTVI TV Deputy Chief Editor Ekaterina Kotrikadze. Some activists called for the Slutsky\u2019s resignation from the parliament.<\/p>\n
