Vladimir Zhirinovsky, an ultranationalist Russian politician who played the court jester in Russia’s parliament for decades while impersonating a political alternative to Vladimir Putin, died at the age of 75.
Complications with Covid, a disease against which Zhirinovsky claimed to have been immunized eight times, appeared to be the reason.
Zhirinovsky, a six-time presidential candidate and member of Russia’s parliament since 1993, was known for his bizarre pranks and furious rants from the rostrum in which he appeared to unveil Russia’s darkest goals out loud.
He publicly endorsed tyranny, suggesting that Putin rule the nation until his death. He once declared of his own objectives, “I have clean hands.” “However, if I become president, they will be covered in blood.”
