ЛДПР

English translation: The Person that is Really Taking Decisions

Russian to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
Russian term or phrase: ЛДПР
This is the abbreviation in a text simulating a conversation between a phone salesperson and the ЛДПР.

The abbreviation is most certainly not that of the political party headed by Zhirinovsky; it seems to be a general abbreviation of someone similar to a CEO, if not indeed a CEO.

Thanks for the assistance!

ЛДПР = Либерально-демократическая партия России
Liberal -Democratic Party of Russia


Explanation:
There is no another meaning than said party, it's not only my opinion by also the opinion of the Russian acronym finder (see the link below) - anyway - why a salesperson may not sell something to that political party ? :)

  -> Thank you, Gary !

disagree  Yuri Smirnov: Во-первых, явно не по теме (ведь сказано, что не партия Жириновского). Во-вторых, вопрос знатоку английской грамматики: что такое "no another"?

  -> May be :-)

agree  David Knowles: I like "real decision maker", but it's a strange acronym, given the political party name.
6 hrs
  -> That's done on purpose, for fun.
