The Liberal Democratic Party of Russia is an extreme right-wing political party in Russia. It has been led by Vladimir Zhirinovsky since its founding in 1990, as the Liberal Democratic Party of the Soviet Union. Despite of its name this party has nothing to do with liberalism.

Policies include the re-annexation of the Soviet Republics, defaulting on all external loans [1], and the abolition of Russia's federal system in place of 15 provinces with appointed governors.

Polling figures:

  • 1991 presidential elections - 8%
  • 1993 Duma elections - 23%
  • 1995 Duma elections - 11%
  • 1996 presidential elections - 6%
  • 1999 Duma elections - 6% (it contested them as the 'Zhirinosvky Bloc')
  • 2003 Duma elections - 12%
