Every genre of the entertainment world has its own award shows. Theater has the Tony. Movies the Oscars. Music the Grammys. Why not elections? I bet the Russian election is a cesspool of some classic moments. So . . .
For his role in “Take him out . . . And shoot the scoundrel!” the best actor award goes to . . . Vladimir Zhirinovsky!
If anyone else has any Russian Presidential gems send them to awards@seansrussiablog.org. Nominations can be text, video, audio, document, anything. I’ll try to organize a panel of Russia blogger judges. Maybe it is damn time to have an awards.
Here are the categories:

Have you ever seen the 1996 Zhirinovsky election poster with him in a Helloween t-shirt?
Have you seen this?

Nomination for “The craziest” (or, probably, the Lenin prize): Vladimir Churin on the press-conference on 13 Feb: “The most intriguing thing in these elections is who will win.”

That video is brilliant.
I would have liked to have seen that guy beat the crap out of Zhirinovsky. How great would that have been – the representative of they wussy, effeminate liberals laying the beat down! I’m sure it would’ve shocked the heck out of Zhiri.
Smart kids in Perm!
