“Vladimir Zhirinovsky was an accomplished politician, an energetic and open man, an eloquent speaker and an articulate debater. The founder and long-time leader of one of the oldest political parties in this country, he has done much to encourage the emergence and development of Russian parliamentarianism and Russian legislation, and he sincerely sought to make a contribution to attaining the most important national goals. And he always defended his patriotic position and Russia’s interests before any audience and in the fiercest of debates,” the message reads.
