This was after Vladimir Zhirinovsky attacked the reporter’s “uterine frenzy.”
This is Vladimir Zhirinovsky, often referred to as the clown of Russian politics. Leader of the far-right LDPR party, he is also deputy speaker of the Duma. He is known for making outrageous speeches, and for his colorful dress sense.

In the lead up to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Zhirinovsky, sitting inside a Russian bathhouse, issued a lengthy tirade against the U.S., saying unspeakably racist and sexist things about Condoleezza Rice, then George W. Bush's national security advisor.
Only now may he have gone too far. On Friday, Zhirinovsky went off on a reporter for Russia Today (the newswire, not the television channel), after she asked him about recent Ukrainian moves to crack down on Russian men entering the country.
The reporter, who also happened to be pregnant, asked Zhirinovsky if he thought Russia should bring sanctions in response.
“You're all bloodthirsty!” Zhirinovsky shouted. “You women of the Maidan all have uterine frenzy,” he said, referring to Kiev's main protest site. “Without that uterine frenzy there wouldn't have been Maidan.”
