Question of the day for Bastrykin: how did you assess Zhirinovsky's public call for war?

Once again, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia Zhirinovsky distinguished himself, who called for the bombing of Ukraine on New Year's Eve:

“You just have to jump into the night from December 31 to January 1. Hours at 4 am, at 5 am. Everything is already drunk. You don't have to bomb them all. But selectively - someone needs to punish them, they need to scare them"

Thus, the Deputy Chairman of the State Duma slandered about Article 354 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Public calls to unleash an aggressive war - are punishable by a fine of up to three hundred thousand rubles or in the amount of the convicted person's salary or other income for a period of up to two years, or imprisonment for up to three years) , however, none of the representatives of the highest authorities, below the leadership of the Russian law enforcement agencies, did not even move to condemn this person, while for much lesser offenses, Russian courts distribute punishments in the form of imprisonment to the right and to the left.

As an expert of the Double Yat channel writes: “But now it is clear why the bill on criminal liability for committing by a citizen of Russia willful actions that contribute to the introduction of sanctions by foreign states has been stalled since February. It's just that Zhirinovsky hasn't retired yet..."

We live in a country with a surprisingly cynical government.
