Vladimir Zhirinovsky's political legacy once again became the focus of public attention. MK wrote in Novosibirsk that his old statements about the inevitability of a major international conflict involving Russia and its ending by 2026 are being actively discussed online.
Long before the start of the special military operation in Ukraine, the politician repeatedly declared that an armed confrontation would be fateful for world politics.
In his forecast, Zhirinovsky sees the future crisis not as a local crisis but as a deep geopolitical redistribution involving the interests of Russia, Europe and the United States. He predicted that the conflict would go through many acute stages and become a serious test for Western alliances, leading to large-scale changes in world architecture. According to him, it will not be until 2026 that a turning point will occur, marking the end of the period of active confrontation.
The end of the conflict, according to the politician's vision, was the starting point for reformatting the entire system of international relations. Zhirinovsky talks about the inevitable weakening of previous economic and political structures, the redistribution of spheres of influence and the reconsideration of borders in the post-Soviet space.
