chel 376 Posted May 27, 2022 According to "Baza" and the telegram channel "Toad and Viper", the son of the late LDPR chairman Vladimir Zhirinovsky received a passport with a new surname, name and patronymic. Igor Lebedev's passport was issued on July 5, 2021, just ten days after his announcement of his retirement from politics. From that moment on, Igor Vladimirovich Lebedev is no more. And instead of it (there should be a long drum roll) appears: GARCIA DAVID ALEXANDROVICH Why Zhirinovsky's son chose such a surname and name, unusual for Russia, can only be assumed. Given the large amount of real estate in Spain, it is possible that Lebedev-Garcia wants to eventually move to Europe permanently. In this case, the full name typical for that area will greatly facilitate his life in a new place. In addition, the son of Zhirinovsky is an active football fan and not only, in 2012 he was even an official contender for the presidency of the Russian Football Union (RFU). Exactly the same name and surname is the current well-known Spanish defender of the Osasuna football club. Another explanation for the change of surname is sanctions: in 2014, the EU included Lebedev in the sanctions lists for the draft federal constitutional law "On the admission of the Republic of Crimea to the Russian Federation ...". From that moment on, the vice-speaker of the State Duma lost the opportunity to travel to Europe. With a new name and passport, it might be easier for him to travel. https://lebedev.baza.io/5/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QO assured. You're welcome. Been reading some of his contributions to Parliament. Ah, those happy halcyon days when he raised issues of glue sniffing being the major problem in prisons. Obviously the vast majority of his interventions were on schools and education. However he was concerned a lot about travellers being allowed into his constituency, which he referred to as "honest didicois" and "didicois" quite offensively on mor than one occasion - not apparently against parliamentary procedure. His speeches on Section 28 however are exceptionally offensive, even for the time, e.g. for not employing homosexual teachers to "protect our children". But hey that's what you get with A Government with a huge majority. Certainly ambivalent on shops opening on a Sunday - more against than for. Maintained that John Stalker's book on the killing of unarmed civilians by the RUC was "a tissue of lies". Absolutely for Council employees being barred from standing for election - I recall that particularly, I really have no idea if that was ever repealed - he seemed to think that was a Labour Council problem in particular. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
