State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin emphasized Vladimir Zhirinovsky's contribution to the development of parliamentarism and the party-political system in our country.

"His legacy, which is increasingly becoming apparent to us today, given his insight, intellect, and analytical mind, must be communicated as widely as possible to those interested in politics and beyond. And, of course, we must do everything possible to ensure his memory lives on," added Vyacheslav Volodin.

He thanked the members of the organizing committee, including representatives of the Russian Government, for their work.

"The events in our plan are designed to speak to people in a language they understand – through culture, education, public space, and communication, through direct access to Vladimir Zhirinovsky's archive of ideas and texts," said Leonid Slutsky, head of the LDPR faction in the State Duma.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko emphasized that, at the direction of Vyacheslav Volodin, extensive work has been carried out in preparation for Vladimir Zhirinovsky's anniversary.

The Deputy Prime Minister announced that, at the invitation of Rosmolodezh, a delegation from the LDPR Youth Organization participated in the educational program "Parliament: Youth Framework for the Future" at the Senezh Management Workshop. An exhibition dedicated to the work of Vladimir Zhirinovsky and the current work of the LDPR was opened at the All-Russian Youth Educational Forum "Territory of Meanings."

The "School of Young Politicians" was held as part of the All-Russian Forum of Young State and Municipal Employees (GosStart). The integration of formats dedicated to the founder of the LDPR into the GosStart program for 2026 is being considered. Proposals to hold lectures on the personality and predictions of the LDPR founder at Rosmolodezh forums in 2026 are also currently being explored.

With the support of the Russian Ministry of Digital Development, Russian media have published over 1,500 publications this year on preparations for the anniversary celebrations. On December 25, 2025, Russian Railways will launch a branded train dedicated to Vladimir Zhirinovsky's anniversary.

"The work will continue next year. For example, we plan to issue postage stamps commemorating Vladimir Zhirinovsky's 80th birthday. VGTRK is preparing a two-part documentary. A full-length documentary will be produced with the support of the Russian Ministry of Culture. A motor rally in memory of Vladimir Zhirinovsky will also take place. It will travel through the cities of Russia's Golden Ring. Other events are also being developed as part of the plan. All of them are being financed from the federal budget, as well as from extra-budgetary sources. I thank Vyacheslav Viktorovich Volodin and Leonid Eduardovich Slutsky for their support," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

He noted the significance of the upcoming multi-volume anniversary publication from the perspectives of political science, sociology, and history. In conclusion, the Deputy Prime Minister expressed confidence that the anniversary celebrations would be held at the highest level.

Moscow, December 24 /Xinhua/ — The coming year will be marked by a further significant improvement in relations between Russia and China. This opinion was expressed by Boris Titov, Special Presidential Representative for Liaison with International Organizations to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals and Chairman of the Russian Section of the Russian-Chinese Committee for Friendship, Peace, and Development, in an interview with Xinhua. During a press conference in Moscow, he summarized the results of 2025 and shared his expectations for the coming year.

"There's still plenty of room for improvement in 2026. We'll expand our committee's work, holding more and more joint events in sports, culture, medicine, and business," he promised.

B. Titov emphasized that relations between Russia and China continued to deepen in 2025. Moreover, qualitative changes have occurred not only in Russian-Chinese relations but also between the countries of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS.

"Today, our countries have finally established the most important thing: that we must develop independently, that the world is multipolar, and that everyone must first and foremost develop their own economy and be economically sovereign. But it's much more profitable to do this with those who don't create problems, but rather support each other," the Xinhua source noted.

The year that is ending was very successful for the development of Russian-Chinese relations, which are based on the long-standing friendship between the countries and their peoples, noted the special representative of the Russian president. –0–
