Given the loyalty to the Kremlin Zhirinovsky (LDPR faction United Russia is always ready to help with their voices), federal channels have not paid attention to the anniversary and issued in his laudatory reports of honor.

Near the operator TVC non-stop writing down everyone congratulate the leader that caused quite a stir.

what supporters want their leader

«Political longevity, increase the fraction in the Duma, further lead by example.” Shy girl with a flag with the Liberal Democratic Party said the third time that Zhirinovsky is setting an example for children. Party member in shapke- “zhirinovke” said that the Liberal Democrat leader, “a good man, speaking in parliament, speaks about their everyday concerns in the country».

The deputies of the LDPR excitedly tried to show respect to the leader. Kursk “Zhirinovsky” proudly told about the street in the village of Rila Malogneushevo district area, named after Zhirinovsky.

Although Zhirinovsky’s words about the need to cordon off the Caucasus barbed wire in this region he still have fans. For example, the delegate from South Ossetia Ahsarbek Kochiev called April 25 “All-Russia festival”, and another deputy from North Ossetia, wished “Caucasian longevity».

At the festivities were a lot of young Liberal Democrats, who joined the party from a young age. One of the focal points eldepeerovskih with party ribbons and tokens admitted that six years was to “Zhirinovsky».

Fans Zhirinovsky are ready for their leader to the most severe tests. One of the men admitted that two days spent “in the Quiche” because of political views.

«Because voted for Zhirinovsky, and not the (Boris) Yeltsin, it was a political move” , – explained the hazy middle-aged man

About the thieves romance and resembled a large number of delegates from the regions sporty -. shaven, bull-necked, hard look around the neighborhood through sunglasses. Liberal Democratic Party has historically attracted the criminal world, for example, it is famous for the second convocation of the State Duma deputy Mikhail Monastyrski. This Russian art dealer was considered one of the leaders of the Tambov groups by Monia nickname.

There were also incidents of hooliganism. Assistant deputy from LDPR, Igor Lebedev (son Zhirinovsky) football fan Alexander Shprygin attacked the journalist of “Novaya Gazeta».

The correspondent of “New” Gleb Liman said he rented a crush at the entrance to the stables and to swear Shprygin on the organizers. deputy assistant snatched from the hands of the correspondent of the camera, took out the memory card, broke it and the lens.

Chief Shprygin Igor Lebedev said then that he knew nothing about the incident, and his assistant, described as “very calm, educated, good man. ” The Liberal Democratic Party, by the way, is known for close ties with the Russian “okolofutbol”. Shprygin known as kamancha, led by All-Russian Society of fans and is a fan of “Dynamo”, in whose name the fans and decorated rostrum symbols of the party that caused the dissatisfaction of the fans

Train “Maidan – Magadan.” Under “God, Save the tsar »

In the Manezh hall were exhibits of autobiographical exhibition Zhirinovsky: a barrel of kvas, a gift from Mikhail Prokhorov -” E-mobility “and propaganda wagon” Maidan – Magadan “- resort 2014″. In addition, in honor of the birthday of Zhirinovsky in the Arena gave an exhibition of his portraits from fans, where he painted in the role of the Terminator, Napoleon and Kutuzov. Guests on stage entertained Russian pop music, clowns, roosters, rabbits and goats in special enclosures.

The leader came to celebrate the anniversary of Brezhnev convertible “ZIL” and solemnly walked the red track by “God Save the tsar.” Under the same hymn he had recently opened a monument to himself.

Zhirinovsky’s speech was surprisingly long, lyrical and a little inconsistent. Instead of the expected jokes and quips on the brink of a foul, 20 minutes, he seriously talked about her youth, the Soviet Union’s history, Nikita Khrushchev, Mikhail Gorbachev, from which jumped to militants in the Middle East, the Russian Space and patriotism.



« The main opposition party in the country »

Next on the stage was the speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko. She announced that the TV channels and the internet filled with news about the anniversary Zhirinovsky.

«Your star that lit up in the 89 th year on the political horizon, not only does not go out, but brighter and brighter – do not skimp on compliments for policy-nationalist head of the upper house of parliament. – You are phenomenal, not only in politics but also in our country

You can scratch with a clean slate on the eve of the beginning of perestroika created a game that has been so many years is one of the main opposition. parties of the country. And what is important, you never imagine not changed <...>. I really like the fact that your party today consists of young, bright, bold politicians, intelligent and educated children. ” In general, judging by the speech Matvienko, Zhirinovsky “brilliant polemicist,” they “have to be born and become impossible.” A shocking for policy lies “thin and vulnerable” person and “a great patriot»

«one would like to ask you,” my young friend! “- said the hero of the day United Russia singer Iosif Kobzon. Artist Nikas Safronov presented to him a portrait and called “one of the greats,” and the deputy of the LDPR Vadim Dengin named Zhirinovsky’s “second father».



«Complex petty bourgeois” and “young people in the skin»

Established Zhirinovsky, Liberal Democratic party became the first opposition party in the Soviet Union – in its creation accused the KGB, but Zhirinovsky denied. The name was not taken from the ceiling: writing programs Zhirinovsky took as a basis the program conservative in spirit of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, seasoning ideas Russian Cadets and the mixture detonating nationalism

«Russia,. you gone crazy! “- desperately cried sixties Jury Karjakin, shaken by the fact that in 1993 in the Duma elections won by the Liberal Democratic Party, which brought together the voices of patriots, nationalists and those who have been called” red-brown »

It was the biggest victory of the party, whose influence gradually declined to the level of the satellite “United Russia” to zero.

The phenomenon Zhirinovsky as an eccentric “right-wing populists” are interested in the Western media, who saw him as a forerunner ” right danger. ” US media have appropriated Zhirinovsky nickname Mad Vlad and compared it with the well-known American politician Huey Long, right-wing populists and the Louisiana governor in 1930.

In real life, Zhirinovsky was the son not “mythical lawyer”, and the real foreigner. His real father Wolf Edelstein graduated from university in France, Grenoble. Zhirinovsky himself while really actively tried to build bridges with the leaders of right-wing populists. In the early 1990s, while living in France, writer and future politician Eduard Limonov, the leader Zhirinovsky introduced ultra “National Front” Jean-Marie Le Pen. Zhirinovsky was pleased with the meeting – most of all he liked the villa of French policy. “I thought then that he had a set of the petty bourgeois in relation to the standard of living of a large” – later recalled Lemons

During the meeting, Le Pen wondered why Zhirinovsky’s party so wrong name, and foaming Zhirinovsky on. his friendship with the leader of the German party “German People’s Union” Gerhard Frey. “Le Pen warned suddenly Zhirinovsky from the” youth of the skin, which will pull it towards National Socialism. ” “Get rid of them, the sooner the better,” – wrote the leader of the National Bolsheviks in the book “Limonov against Zhirinovsky»

At the beginning of his political career, Zhirinovsky did not disdain any connection -. Except for “young people of the skin” ( the party was a lot of odious nationalists) around him and exalted lady, and have lost their jobs in the 90 Soviet engineers. I can remember and it is criminal identity among the deputies of the Liberal Democratic Party. A deputy of the first convocation of the LDPR was, for example, Sergei Skorochkin, who shot a doctor and his girlfriend on Easter night from a Kalashnikov. However, then shot himself in the head.

Today, the Liberal Democratic Party has reduced the heat of a radical, in her faction in the State Duma can meet quite moderate deputies, for which this force was the only opportunity to get into politics. “Well it is necessary to someone and write laws,” – said “Gazeta.ru” one of the former “respectable” MPs from the Liberal Democratic Party

Zhirinovsky as a foreign policy weapon

One of the most. international high-profile scandals involving Zhirinovsky was his participation in the trade of Iraqi oil quotas derived from the then Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. US Senate noted that Zhirinovsky has received several million dollars from the Hussein regime. Zhirinovsky such accusations denied, said that in Iraq defended the interests of Russian companies.

The politician and now protects the interests of Russia, however, it makes it very peculiar, speaking sometimes with fairly radical statements on international issues.

So, after a conflict with Turkey because of downed Russian plane he proposed to destroy Istanbul, dropping to the Bosporus a nuclear bomb.

in Turkey Zhirinovsky old grievances – many years ago, as a young expert-Turkologist, he was arrested for 17 days, the Turkish authorities for what he gave the Turkish colleagues Soviet icons. One of them was dedicated to the anniversary of the Soviet circus, however, due to Soviet symbolism it may have been regarded as a promotion.

One of the last harsh statements on the international theme Zhirinovsky made after the terrorist attacks in Brussels, saying that ” it is advantageous for us “and” let die “. We can recall a lot of his other controversial statements that the Urals “stupid” ( “from Perm to Ekaterinburg – a population of debility”). Or frankly disgusting acts like the attack in the Duma on a pregnant journalist, he suggested to his aides to rape. After that, some journalists proclaimed his party’s boycott of the

But it seems odious policy today is not confused senior representatives of the Russian authorities. On the eve of the birth of Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded the policy the Order “For Merit”. And in an interview for the anniversary of the film Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov praised the erudition of Zhirinovsky and often self-fulfilling foreign policy predictions

As explained by sources in foreign policy circles, radicalism Zhirinovsky and his ilk politicians -. One of the tools of “psychological warfare”. His radical statements, they provide an opportunity to the Russian elite, acting with more moderate positions, appear more respectable in the eyes of the West, explained a source close to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In a recent interview with TV channel “Russia” Zhirinovsky denied the probability that can become a senator for the presidential quota, and said that because of the policy of his “will make only a feet».

Despite the political viability of a politician losing momentum due to old age.

in the last presidential election in 2012, he received 6.22% of votes, which is 3% less than in the 2008 election. And in the next Duma elections to vote for the Liberal Democratic Party can dilute a lot of party-spoilers and foreign policy radicalism all other system projects.

However, the polls were close to the Kremlin insists that the Russians have retained warm feelings to the odious policy. The results of the latest poll said that Zhirinovsky’s name evokes the Russians often positive (48%) or neutral (49%) associations. Zhirinovsky called pravdoruba 16% of respondents, intelligent 9%, and 10% say that it is extremely emotional. Often it brings a smile to 25% of the respondents.

Alexei Makarkin of the Center for Political Technologies, said that after the arrest in Turkey Zhirinovsky was restricted to leave, but it was saved by restructuring. “He prepared himself for a political career, and he was terribly lucky that the communist system collapsed when he was in his prime.” The country’s leadership, says the source, Zhirinovsky does not avoid due to the fact that many of his statements have become mainstream, “odious principle of change, and if what he said before, it was considered offensive, has now become the norm. You can say “croak” if it is said with respect to the

«enemy». Makarkin explains that many of today’s politicians would like to forget about his statements in 1990 about “friendship with the West.” But the chief of the Liberal Democrats, the former is always radical, there is nothing to be ashamed of, “This is not Zhirinovsky came to politics, it is our policy came to Zhirinovsky»
