Zhirinovsky reprimanded the media for excessive attention to Nachalova’s death
Russian media pay too much attention to the death of cultural figures, covering the tragedy of singer Yulia Nachalova, but at the same time forgetting about the problems of small business.
LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky stated this during an extended meeting of State Duma deputies on the development of small and medium-sized businesses, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I have a good attitude towards cultural figures, but if every day you report the death of a cultural figure, and this is a normal process - due to old age, illness, and say nothing about successful representatives of small businesses, namely small ones, there is no need to even say a word about the average one. Who makes the stools, where will you get them? Raise your hands, how many of you know where stools are made in Moscow, and how much it costs? Nobody knows anything.
I didn’t know either, so I started looking.
An eccentric comes to me and says: “One stool – 50 thousand.” Are you crazy, some special oak, carved legs, I say it’s not good. Another came - 5 thousand. I went online, IKEA, 400 rubles. I called the master and asked if he could do it cheaper, he agreed for three hundred. I ordered him one hundred stools to come to our premises, for three hundred rubles. And they offered me 50 thousand, do you feel the difference is 15-20 times?” the politician said.
“That is, there is no need to squeeze small businesses. And there must be propaganda, where the best masters sit, there must be propaganda, and people talk about them day and night. And with us: “This one died, that one died...” These are all cultural figures, this is good, but there is no need to spoil people’s mood. Death is a natural process, but something alive must be given so that a person can live, earn money and have his own, and not depend on anyone - not on his wife, boss, pension or benefits.
These are all benefits, disability: “I’m sick, I left, the doctor is bad...”. Don’t go to the doctor at all; if you work, you won’t need a doctor. But if we work honestly, then we don’t need a prosecutor or a policeman,” Zhirinovsky added.
