Vladimir Zhirinovsky Fires A Weapon From A Moving Train:

Vladimir Volfovich Zhirinovsky is a Russian politician, founder and the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR), Vice-Chairman of the State Duma (Russian Parliament), and a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.

If I am to understand correctly, he's drunk on a train, sends an aide to the back to get his shotgun so he can hunt crows from the speeding train...gets trigger happy and so starts taking aim at chicken coups of the locals along the tracks as well. As if hunting crows from a train wasn't a bad enough idea.

Apparently this is a public train no less. I edited out the long lead in of him jabbering on and on and sending the aide to get his gun...I guess he's given to anti-semetic rants, which I think he was doing prior to this, but my Russian isn't so good.

This guy is the #2 in the Duma, and has run for president of russia several times. To his credit, he stops long enough to wave to kids.

Above is the description posted with the video. I can't vouch for it's accuracy but it looks authentic to me. How long until someone posts a Dick Cheney hunting joke in the comments?

Lowest Of The Low - Antisemitism In Russia Continues To Climb:

Russian TV aired a video showing youths disrupting the peace at a Jewish cemetery in Nizhny Novgorod, and attempting to dislodge fences surrounding the graves. The local police have launched an investigation in to the matter following the release of the movie.

The youths can be seen running through the cemetery, at one point bending over, apparently to spit on one of the graves. They have also been accused of desecrating the grave of the city's chief rabbi and a Holocaust memorial monument.

Menahem Rabinowitz, envoy of the Jewish Agency in Nizhny Novgorod, told Ynet that the Jewish community in the city, which includes over 15,000 people, had been shocked by the affair. He said the cemetery was the oldest one in the area, and that the grave and the monument hold much significance for the community.

Disgusting. Not one of these hoodlums has been caught, yet. I have the feeling the violence against Jewish interests in Russia has yet to reach fever pitch. Incidents like this happen all too frequently and the powers that be seem to have no interest in prosecuting them.
