FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
The leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, Vladimir Zhirinovsky plans to run for the presidency in 2018. This will be his sixth presidential bid, with the first one dating back to 1991 – when Russia was technically still a Soviet republic.
Zhirinovsky announced his plans for another presidential
challenge in an interview with the political talk radio Ekho
Moskvy. He also said that he had expected the 2012 race to end in
a runoff, and added that he did not exclude that Vladimir Putin
would run again.

Zhirinovsky is known for his populist and often flamboyant style,
and his party takes a clearly nationalist stance. He has taken
part in six presidential races already. His results ranged from
almost 8 percent of votes in 1991 to just 2.7 percent in 2000. In
2004 Zhirinovsky allowed his deputy and former bodyguard, Oleg
Malyshkin, to become a candidate, reasoning that it was virtually
certain that the LDPR candidate would lose to the extremely
popular incumbent Vladimir Putin.
Last week, the liberal party Yabloko announced that it would put
forward the candidacy of its founder Grigiory Yavlinsky in the
2018 presidential poll. The decision has yet to be agreed with
Yavlinsky himself – this is likely to happen at the next party
congress.
Other people and movements have not yet made any direct
statements regarding 2018. However, Aleksey Venediktov,
editor-in-chief of the Ekho Moskvy radio station, said last month
that he knew for sure that Vladimir Putin intended to run for
another term. The president has not commented on this report.

In early March, the independent Levada polling agency said that
if presidential elections were held next weekend Putin would win
in the first round. According to Levada’s research, 57 percent of
Russian citizens were ready to cast their votes for Putin. Among
those who said that they knew for sure who they would support
this share was even higher – at 80 percent.
The leader of the Russian Communist Party, Gennady Zyuganov, was
second with 7 percent and Zhirinovsky was third with 4 percent.
Other candidates proposed by pollsters were Prime Minister Dmitry
Medvedev, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu and the head of the
Party of Progress, anti-corruption activist Aleksey Navalny –
they claimed 1 percent of supporters each.
When researchers asked the public whom they would like to see
elected in 2018, 57 percent said they would prefer Putin
remaining at the helm. Twenty-five percent said they would prefer
someone else and 19 percent answered that they found it difficult
to make a choice.
