The State Duma held the second meeting of the organizing committee for the preparation and holding of the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the birth of the founder of the LDPR, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, where the plan for the main events was considered.
Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin, noting the scale of Vladimir Zhirinovsky’s personality, emphasized the importance of perpetuating his memory: “We must do everything so that the memory of him, as a person who did a lot to create the party-political system of our state, who headed the faction in the State Duma throughout his entire time, lives and is passed on from generation to generation.” He recalled that Vladimir Zhirinovsky did a lot to strengthen the Russian state.
Vyacheslav Volodin told what has already been done within the framework of the memorial events: “Starting September 1, scholarships named after Vladimir Volfovich Zhirinovsky will be paid to the most gifted, talented students who have achieved high results in the field that Vladimir Volfovich loved – in oriental studies. He was a specialist in it.”
The Chairman of the State Duma noted the efforts made by the leader of the LDPR faction Leonid Slutsky: “Leonid Eduardovich and his colleagues are doing a lot to ensure that the Vladimir Volfovich museum is opened next year. It will be located in the headquarters of the LDPR party. This is a home place for Vladimir Volfovich.”
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko took part in the meeting. He emphasized that Vladimir Zhirinovsky left behind a significant scientific and literary legacy, and put forward an initiative to publish a jubilee collection of his works.
“Considering that Vladimir Volfovich left behind a significant scientific, literary, journalistic legacy, if Vyacheslav Viktorovich Volodin supports it, I propose considering the possibility of creating a commission at the State Duma, which could include scientists, historians and sociologists from the country’s leading universities, such as Moscow State University, Russian State University for the Humanities, and St. Petersburg State University. It would analyze the existing legacy, propose a publication structure and select works and documentation to publish a collection of his works,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.
Dmitry Chernyshenko also noted that on the eve of the committee meeting he discussed preparations for the anniversary with LDPR Chairman Leonid Slutsky. As a result, the draft plan of events was significantly expanded: federal ministries and departments, the Russian Academy of Sciences, as well as major public organizations and media will participate in the implementation of 56 events.
In conclusion, the Deputy Prime Minister thanked all members of the Government and personally the Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin for their active participation in the preparation of the anniversary. The Deputy Prime Minister added that all work is under the control of the Chairman of the Government Mikhail Mishustin.
