Participation in presidential elections

Participated in four presidential elections (record holder) (1996, 2000, 2008).

views

Vladimir Volfovich has repeatedly spoken out about the need to introduce unusual laws or fundamentally change existing ones, often using populist techniques, for example:

• Complete cessation of financing of foreign states (including South Ossetia), and use the released funds to boost the Russian economy
• A significant increase in child support and alimony, while the payment of alimony in full must be assumed by the state. This fact, according to Zhirinovsky, will significantly increase the birth rate - women will not be “afraid” to give birth to low-income men, and in the event of a divorce, alimony in full under any circumstances will be paid by the state.
• Lifting the current moratorium on the death penalty. In response to the main argument of the opponents of the death penalty, that an innocent person can be executed as a result of a mistake or collusion, Zhirinovsky suggests that a judge who has pronounced an erroneous, executed death sentence should automatically sentence him to death himself. This measure, according to Zhirinovsky, will completely eliminate erroneous death sentences.
• Criminal prosecution of politicians who failed to fulfill their election promises.
• The unification of regions through the creation of 7-12 provinces, the rejection of the division of the state on a national basis, the policy of assimilation of small peoples. Subsequently, this was partially embodied in the form of federal districts.

Xenophobia

Zhirinovsky was repeatedly accused of anti-Semitism (in turn, he noted that Jews themselves are often to blame for anti-Semitism). Blamed the Jews for the collapse of Russia, sending Russian women to foreign countries to work as prostitutes, to sell children and their organs to the West, and to provoke the Holocaust. Supported Edwin Neuwirth, an Austrian industrialist and "proud" former official Waffen-SS, which denied that the Nazis used gas chambers to kill Jews during World War II, causing some German media They called him "Russian Hitler". In an interview with Vladimir Pozner in September 2010, Zhirinovsky retracted his earlier anti-Semitic remarks, stating that in all cases he was either misunderstood, misinterpreted, or his speech was the subject of editing.

He expressed his hatred for foreigners - Turks and Transcaucasians, as well as for Russian residents - almost all natives of the North Caucasus.

Zhirinovsky also called for the expulsion of all Chinese from the Russian Far East.

be-x-old:Uladzimer Zhyrynovskiy

Vladimir Zhirinovsky is a bright, extraordinary and very charismatic politician. His name is often associated with scandalous statements and eccentric behavior. However, it is precisely this fact that makes Zhirik popular with voters who listen to him with great interest.

Zhirinovsky - founder, leader and chief ideologue Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR). For 11 years, he served as Deputy Chairman of the State Duma and repeatedly put forward his candidacy in the presidential elections.

He also received a Ph.D. in Philosophy, published five hundred books, and owns several foreign languages. He has the honorary title of Honored Lawyer of Russia, is the owner of a large number awards.

Despite the apparent quarrelsomeness, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party characterizes himself as a calm and even shy person. Outside the public, Vladimir Volfovich lives quietly and imperceptibly. He loves peace and quiet so much that, as he himself once admitted, even the noise of an aquarium can annoy him. From the worldly fuss, the politician hides in his cottage in the west of Moscow, where he lives permanently. But in addition to this house, he also owns a dacha in the Odintsovo district of the Moscow region.

Dacha of Vladimir Zhirinovsky

The country estate of the politician is located in the village of Darino, not far from the Rublevo-Uspenskoye highway. The area is prestigious, but by the standards of the legendary Rublyovka, Zhirinovsky's house is rather modest. True, most of our compatriots will not agree with this characteristic - few can afford a dacha with an area of ​​​​800 sq.m.

The politician's house is brick, three floors and a basement. On the ground floor there is a winter garden, which is adjacent to the living room. The living room itself, in addition to a large portrait of Zhirinovsky himself, amazes with a variety of various busts and adjacent hunting trophies. What is not here - stuffed boars, a bear, an elk, there is also a wolf skin, and a bear ...

According to the politician, all these are gifts, he himself is not a fan of hunting. But, apparently, he likes to watch TV - one meter screen with karaoke is located in the living room, two similar ones are on the second floor, where the master's cinema is located. On the third floor - a bedroom, a favorite place to relax. Its main "attraction" is a huge bed with a canopy, which gives the entire room an oriental flavor.

In general, there is no single style in this house. Everything is mixed here: wood with stone, oriental exoticism with leather sofas - in a word, complete eclecticism.

There is also a plot adjacent to the house. A garage was built on 50 "acres", next to it there is a bathhouse with an outbuilding and an outdoor pool. There is even a well with spring water. Once, as Vladimir Volfovich says, he even had his own subsidiary farm here - he kept rabbits, bred geese, chickens and turkeys.

Real estate prices in Darino vary greatly, depending on the size of the house, interior, design and size of the plot. But according to rough estimates, the cost of Vladimir Zhirinovsky's dacha is about $3 million.
