The LDPR want to name one of Kirov's new streets after Zhirinovsky.

      Pavel Dorofeev published a post on his Telegram channel proposing to name one of Kirov’s new streets after Vladimir Zhirinovsky. The politician noted that the decision would depend solely on the opinion of city residents. He also stressed that this would not be a renaming of one of the existing streets, but the naming of a new one.

      As an argument, Dorofeev said that in 2026 Zhirinovsky, one of the country’s most recognizable politicians and the founder of the LDPR party, would have turned 80. “Vladimir Volfovich,” the coordinator noted, “made a huge contribution to the creation of a multiparty political system in Russia and to the development of civil society. Therefore, we consider it appropriate to propose to the residents of our city that one of the new streets under construction be named in his memory.”

      Recall that the LDPR had already proposed a similar idea in April 2022. At that time it was suggested in Kirov to name one of the streets, a park, a square or another public space after the late LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who died on April 6.
