Despite public
statements by the Russian Federation leadership that the so-called “Novorossiya”
does not exist and that Donbas exists and must remain part of Ukraine, Kremlin
mouthpiece Vladimir Zhirinovsky already
sees himself as at least the governor
of the occupied regions, specifically within Russia.
“Если кто-то этого захочет, я с радостью возглавлю «Новороссию». Моя цель одна – чтобы это стали снова все
губернии Российской империи” (“If anyone wants this, I would gladly lead ‘Novorossiya’. My goal is one – for these to once again become all the
governorates of the Russian Empire”), Zhirinovsky stated.
It appears that many assumptions
about the Kremlin abandoning the “Novorossiya” project were somewhat
premature, as it is no secret that Zhirinovsky voices only what the top leader of Russia has permitted him to say. True, he does so in his own manner.
