A Knesset member who used a fake name to contribute to a Russian radio station has been rebuked by the Knesset's ethics committee.
Ksenia Svetlova, who represents the Zionist Union, was told to stop calling Moscow’s state-sponsored Sputnik radio station posing as an analyst .
Ms Svetlova, a former journalist, reportedly called the station numerous times to discuss a variety of subjects using the name ‘Aleksandra Kalinina’.
Defending her actions in an interview with Army Radio, she said: “As soon as the ethics committee told me to desist, I desisted. What’s the big deal?
