Zhirinovsky, 75, was admitted to hospital earlier this year after contracting COVID-19, according to Russian media.
"The scale of his personality is such that without him it is difficult to imagine the history of the development of the political system of modern Russia," parliament speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said in a tribute. Ostensibly it provided political competition; in practice it backed him when it mattered, for instance over the 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine. Zhirinovsky also proved useful to the Kremlin in floating radical opinions to test public reaction.
Good
One less Russian stooge!
Ppl who don’t know him are wishing him to rust in hell. Never understood western collective gang mentality positioned on its fake high moral grounds. Some are almost calling for Russians to get slaughtered.CTV has no problem with Russophobic thugs with public genocidal tendency
Who cares
Nice to start the day with some positive news 😊
Thank God!!
Poison or window?
1 down more to go!!
We hear 'far right' all the time in the news but never 'far left'. The right is where it has been, the left keeps moving left but the right gets the label.
