Because Zhirik uses special words and special justures just to agitate more those who don't know russian language and culture. But most russophobes don't know it.
With all confidence I can say I'm familiar with the Russian culture- until 91 Ukraine and Russia were together. There's nothing subliminar or deeply strategic in his "technique". At best, you could say he's scaring foreigners so as to make Putin look like Gandhi. However he's not being a buffoon just with us russophones :)- there's that infamous on-air fighting some years ago.
Those from Ukraine who as you say pro-russians are people of russin culture and they easy recognise that Zhirik just play games and he is not serious.
Ukrainians of Russian culture- that's what you mean?
Well perhaps you're right, I don't know, we'll have to ask an Eastern Ukrainian if he's bothered if Zh. calls him a "mierzaviets". But again, from what you're saying I gather you Russians don't seem to be bothered if you call each other, your parents and your kids #^%$&!*$% and *-/$%!!. .

Now you get it right:).
Those foreigners who traveled in Russia just once and who has open mind would be never never scared by Zhirik.
Since they know how much his estapades are different from reality.
But russophobes who learn about Russia from articles of Ion Pacepa, are scared by Zhirik's stunts. Which is very very good:))).
His fightings just with so called "pro-westerners" whom he paints as "traitors". It is just part of his game.
He voluntarily took his role and play it as he think best.
Spanalot as I see is very disappointed to learn that Zhirik just fooled him:). You see Serge some people are never learn:)>
Ukrainians of Russian culture- that's what you mean? ==
Some ukranians as they call themselves are uniates from former austirian or polish territories. They are no way people of russian culture.
But some "ukranians" who from former NovvoRossia are just southern russians. They wouldn't never become as those first. More ukrnazi propaganda will try to convert them then bigger will be boom later. More force will be used against them bigger will be hate back.
Those people withstanded soviet propaganda, ukrnazi propaganda is much lesser then that.
Accually we all know that Ukraine splitted on 2 parts now.
Russia in comparison is very united state then Ukraine.
With all confidence I can say I'm familiar with the Russian culture- until 91 Ukraine and Russia were together. ==
As far As I understood you are kind of "canadian ukranian" right?
Then I with probable confidence may say that you may learn some soviet culture by books and mistook it as "russian". Am I right?:)
