Controversial activities
editHe said: "Renaissance came to Europe only after the Inquisition. We must learn from the lessons of History".
Abeltsev has publicly proposed that Yevgeny Adamov, former Russian atomic energy minister, should be assassinated to prevent him from disclosing state secrets in Switzerland. In June 2009, Abeltsev, in an interview with the Georgian television channel Rustavi 2, advised the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Philip H. Gordon to change his family name to a more resonant one — Condom and to give up politics and run a sex shop at the White House. He later claimed he had been provoked by the Georgian journalists, but refused to withdraw his remarks regarding Gordon.[citation needed]
