Russian State Duma Head Strikes Dumb With Statement About Putin

Volodin has lost the remnants of his adequacy.

The speaker of the lower house of the Russian parliament believes that "Americans dream of such a president" as the current head of the Kremlin.

The US wanted to see Vladimir Putin as president of the country. But "to the envy" of Americans, he is running for presidency of the Russian Federation.

This was stated on Thursday, 15 February, by Vyacheslav Volodin, speaker of the Russian State Duma, during a plenary session of the lower house of the Russian parliament.

"We have the strongest candidate. If you look at what they write in America, they would like Vladimir Putin to be their president. But they don't - we have him. And they have Joe Biden," Volodin said, addressing Russian MPs.
