Adlan Shamsadov, head of the Chechen regional branch of the LDPR, announced he is quitting the party. A new leader will be elected within two weeks, said Alexey Didenko, a Russian MP and member of the Supreme Council of the LDPR, RIA Novosti reports.
Didenko said that Shamsadov was free to join any other party. He is confident that the Chechen party leader was pressurized into quitting.
Shamsadov said that his quit was a response to LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky’s words at the Poyedinok talk show on Russia 1 broadcasted on October 24. At the show, Zhirinovsky proposed birth control for the North Caucasus as a means of terrorism prevention.
