Vladimir Zhirinovsky, a Russian politician, the founder and leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, stated that the Kremlin had made the Project Russia in order to create a unitary state.
He was press-secretary of Vladimir Zhirinovsky and the editor-in-chief of the newspaper LDPR of the nationalist Liberal Democratic Party of Russia.
Writing about Marine Le Pen he said that she could outdo her father because "Instead of saying that Islam is terrorism, she simply insists that France is a secular nation that will not stand for hundreds of thousands of Muslims practicing their religious traditions. With this argument, Marine has cleverly defended the French people's right to a secular nation."
International organizations People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA), as well as Russian animal rights activists, have accused Zhirinovsky of cruelty to animals.
