Zhirinovsky remembered: Russian ultra-nationalist firebrand politician on democracy, Jewishness, sex, and more
The veteran MP was famous for his often controversial and headline-grabbing public remarks
On Wednesday, one of the most colourful politicians of modern Russia, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, passed away. He had a unique personal style that left few people indifferent.
Zhirinovsky’s incendiary rhetoric and crude humor garnered him as many critics as fans. Both traits are evident in his arguably most famous quote: “I dream that Russian soldiers will wash their boots in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean and switched to summer uniforms for good."
RT has compiled some of his other memorable public remarks about various issues, from politics to lifestyle.
