The leader of the LDPR party, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, announced the need to completely ban the import of flowers from abroad, since they are the cause of epidemics. In his Telegram channel, he indicated that it is better to give women fewer flowers, but to keep them safe.
According to the politician, the plants brought from America, Africa and Europe contain pathogens – viruses, bacteria, insect larvae. If imports are not stopped, he is sure that Russia will have to experience epidemics every year.
Earlier, Zhirinovsky said that women in Russia would not want to become presidents, as this is “hard work.” At the same time, he recalled that the women who headed the regions “could not resist.” At the same time, the politician admitted that women should be given more freedom.
Also on Friday, March 5, the day of the death of Joseph Stalin, Zhirinovsky opposed one person running the country for more than ten years. He pointed out that after this period the politician must retire on an honorable pension, otherwise people will die at his funeral.
A survey by the SuperJob job search service showed that Russian women consider flowers to be both the most desirable and most useless gifts for March 8th.
