ZHIRINOVSKY CAMPAIGNS AGAINST WESTERN FOOD IMPORTS.

Russian parliamentarian Vladimir Zhirinovsky and his supporters yesterday picketed McDonald’s restaurant on Pushkin Square in downtown Moscow to complain about the invasion of Russia by Western "poison" and to advocate the consumption of "environmentally clean Russian products." Zhirinovsky said his Liberal Democratic Party will demand the expulsion of the British and Belgian ambassadors who, he said, have conspired to flood Russia with beef contaminated by made cow disease.
