Zhirinovsky by Graham Fraser
This is a collection of Vladimir Wolfovich Zhirinovsky's pronouncements on the present and future of Russia and the rest of the world. At Russia's recent elections, the ultra-nationalist leader, formerly regarded as on the extremist edge of politics, shocked both Russia and the West by polling a large section of the vote. His political manifesto includes reassimilation of the Baltic States, elimination of minorities, quashing resistance by mass arrest and execution, and using conventional or nuclear force against other states, such as Japan. The danger of his becoming President, with license to action these horrifying policies, cannot be ruled out. This book is a collection of his extreme statements, which show his thinking and his plans for power. It also assesses his chances of achieving popular support and supreme power, because the rise of a man like Zhirinovsky tells us much about the current perceptions and political responses of the average Russian. The book also considers how he has shifted the centre of Russian politics in his ultra-nationalist direction.| SKU | Unavailable |
