The suggestion to invite Zuckerberg came from Senator Anton Belyakov, who said that the US billionaire might appear at one of the parliamentary "Hour of the Expert" events, in which guests normally address the lawmakers and hold a Q&A session.
Matviyenko said that the Federation Council may invite other well-known foreign experts to speak on topical issues.
