Experts are sure that Zhirinovsky is preparing to leave the big game and leave the LDPR. The health of the permanent leader worsens. The point is not only about problems with the cardiovascular system, but also in the progressive bipolar disorder. Zhirinovsky is increasingly difficult to be in the political arena in the usual role. So the rumors of a possible successor in the person of businessman Oleg Deripaska were completely unexpected. The LDPR leader in the active search for the successor, or rather, the buyer. But so far there has been no compromise between the financial interests of the Zhirinovsky family in the transfer of the “party franchise” and the position of the Kremlin curators.
The LDPR provided the Zhirinovsky family with a huge fortune. Only real estate is estimated at 10 billion rubles. In addition, each mandate in the State Duma brings from 100 to 500 million rubles to a piggy bank. And this is not the case of the conclusion of finances from the party cash desk (that is, more than 1 billion per year) through offshore and affiliated offices. It would be possible to maintain control over the party business through the dynastic scenario, transferring the post of chairman to the son of Zhirinovsky-the vice-speaker of the State Duma of Igor Lebedev.
But Lebedev is a problem – he is not charismatic and not convincing. So the business with Lebedev at the head of the party will not go. In addition, Lebedev repeatedly fell into scandals in connection with financial fraud.
Therefore, Zhirinovsky, as a competent case, can make another decision – to sell the LDPR brand while it is still sold. But, as in any political issue, Vladimir Volfovich is not independent here and should act in the system of domestic political coordinates. The change of the leader of one of the parliamentary parties on the eve of a large elected cycle is too much risk. Obviously, he was asked to linger on the post at least before the election. Well, a temporary lag will be used for appropriate consultations on the management reform of the LDPR. And here much depends on the ability to bargain Mr. Zhirinovsky. Whether he will be able to push his candidate. Or, for example, for the LDPR, a merger script with other party projects by analogy with “fair Russia” will be defined. However, in both cases, it will be another party. No Zhirinovsky – no LDPR.
