You have to do a better research. Zhirinivsky is a troll, installed by Clintonists into a Russian political establishment back to earlier 1990s. An idea behind this clown was to hijack votes of the most stupid rednecks and urban trash from Communists to prop a Yeltsin government.
That makes his posture and ridiculous statements. Idiots loves when he acts like one of their own, comparing to the rest of “boring” conventional politicians.
Right now he does the same job for a current government. He is not a serious political power, but a drone to saturate and ridicule both right and left wing blocks.
He is the biggest supporter of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and he recruits and funds the Russian ethnic separatists fighting in Ukraine.
Supplying The Front Lines In Eastern Ukraine - August 1, 2014 - In May, the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, which has lawmakers in parliament, signed a cooperation agreement with representatives of the self-proclaimed "Donetsk People's Republic" to help purchase and ship humanitarian aid to eastern Ukraine. The party, however, is helping with a little more than just blankets and aspirin. It has put one of its Moscow offices at the disposition of the separatists, who have since announced they had opened a recruitment center in Moscow, in addition to the one operating in the eastern Ukrainian city of Slovyansk.

For the reasons I told about. Maybe they want to see their nazis killed in Ukraine?
Yes, Putin is now eliminating his nationalist opposition by stabbing them in the back in Ukraine, but that does not excuse what he has done. Putin is of course not a true nationalist but a Neo-Soviet. The nationalist slogan “stop feeding the Caucasus” does not appeal to him at all. Putin wants a multi-ethnic neo-Soviet Russia, not a Russia for the Russians. That’s why he issued Russian passports to Abkhazians and just gave Russian citizenship to hundreds of thousands of Crimean Tatars.
I think things are a bit more complex than you guess.
As for Ukraine, it has to be a federation in my opinion. You can blame Russian propaganda and meddling as much as you can but there were problems and they had to be solved.
Probably best to keep your meddling Russkie opinions to yourself, and let the Ukrainians do what they want.
Don’t you think Donetsk deserves to elect it’s governor or keep some of it’s taxes?
I think we should let the Ukrainians talk about it after every last one of the invaders are pushing up daisies, or whatever equivalent to daisies grow in that part of the world.
Putin abolished election of governors in Russia. Do Russian regions deserve to be able to elect their governors? Or is this something Russians want only for Ukraine?

Who said it is good that Russia isn’t electing governors?
Or do you think it is good to have unelected officials in Ukraine but only bad for Russia?
Putin said so. So Putin’s Russia has no right to demand for Ukraine what they don’t demand for Russia. If Russians tried to do in Russia what they have done in Ukraine, Putin would bomb them and kill them like he did in Chechnya. If Russians don’t demand election of governors in Russia, they have no right to demand it in Ukraine.
This dude who exposed this just turned up dead, yeah, some coincidence.

This is an old thread (some of the people in it were zotted already! lol), but thanks very much for the link! The suffering the Ukrainians are going through must not be forgotten.
So far, there is not much out on this story of Vladimir Pribylovsky; but seeing the headline at RFERL, I had to look it up and somehow per “bing.com”, I got this article. Oh well, didn’t mean to cause a splash.
