The Liberal Democratic Party of Russia is a "leftist" Russian political party, that is nothing of the sort. In holds 56 of the 450 seats in the State Duma[1]

The party leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky is infamous for his scandalous xenophobic, hooray-patriotic speeches. Once he made a video address to George W. Bush condemning the Iraq War with a lot of expletives and anti-American threats thrown in, while drunk (later he claimed it was forged). Those PR stunts would likely cause international disasters if anyone was capable of taking him seriously.
