Is Zhirinovsky the guy who wants to prevent Russian women from leaving Russia?

I think I've heard something about it.

Zhirinovsky is not simply a nut, but a super-nut. Most Russians cannot stand the man. My Russian wife says he is insane.

He once beat up a female legislator in the duma and then said she wanted it.

Hands off our women, Russian MP tells foreigners - MOSCOW - Scandalised by the fact that some of Russia's most beautiful women are opting to marry foreigners, the ultra-nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky is backing a bill that would make them think twice before exchanging vows with a non-Russian. His party, the incongruously named Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, has drafted a draconian marriage bill that will now be considered by the Duma, the Russian Parliament. It envisages severe penalties for Russian girls or women who choose "unpatriotically" to wed a foreigner, a trend the party believes is robbing the country's gene pool of its greatest resource. In rhetoric uncomfortably reminiscent of that used by the Nazis, the party believes that the large number of Russian women taking foreign spouses is a threat to national security that risks undermining Russian identity and "the purity of the Russian race". It is proposing punishing such female "traitors" by stripping them of their citizenship, deporting them to the country of their new husband and never allowing them to return. The party also wants them to feel the pain in their pockets and is suggesting that their Russian assets be automatically distributed among their relatives or given to the state.

Part of Zhirinovki's platform is to secure the return of Alaska to Russia- his maps of Russia even include Alaska. He also promised to destroy Germany with nuclear weapons if elected president.
