Zhirinovsky Offers Pens, Bags and Cash.
(From The Moscow Times)
For more than an hour they streamed into Vladimir Zhirinovsky's office, handing written complaints and legal documents to the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party and asking for assistance.
To each, Zhirinovsky, like many a politician, promised solemnly, "We'll try to help you."
But, unlike most politicians, he often meant it more personally.
Zhirinovsky offered short-term loans to help with utility bills. He said he would get gas supplies to apartments turned back on. He volunteered the services of LDPR lawyers.
Visitors, in turn, thanked him and about half promised him their votes.
"This is an everyday activity," an LDPR spokeswoman said of Sunday's gathering.
