Russian Presidential Candidate Sobchak Soaked by Avenging Zhirinovsky Supporter
15:05 GMT 04.03.2018 (Updated: 10:31 GMT 29.02.2020) The only female candidate at the upcoming Russian Presidential election was attacked in downtown Moscow according to the former reality show host's headquarters.
Ksenia Sobchak's press secretary reports that as she was leaving an event commemorating Mikhail Gorbachev's birthday, a young man ran up to her screaming "This is for Zhirinovsky!", before splashing her with water and knocking her off her feet.
The attacker was allegedly identified as Alan Dzuev, an aide to Mosgorduma deputy Aleksey Shaposhnikov.
