Zhirinovsky Sees ‘Jealousy’
Russian radical Vladimir V. Zhirinovsky, expelled from Bulgaria, returned home Wednesday accusing Bulgaria’s president of “jealousy” and Bonn of staging a “political provocation.”
Zhirinovsky was ordered out of Bulgaria after urging Bulgarians to replace President Zhelyu Zhelev.
“My expulsion was an act of jealousy from Zhelev,” Zhirinovsky said. “People were coming to greet me, to embrace me.”
Meanwhile, Germany refused to grant a visa that Zhirinovsky had requested for an 18-day stay there, which was scheduled to have started Wednesday.
