The Political party LDPR (Russian:Политическая партия ЛДПР), formerly the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (Russian:Либерально-Демократическая Партия России – Liberal'no-Demokraticheskaya Partiya Rossii), is a far-rightpolitical party in the Russian Federation. The charismatic and controversial Vladimir Zhirinovsky has led the party since its founding in 1991.
Despite the party's name, it is frequently described as "neither liberal nor democratic." The party has been described as fiscally leftist and authoritarian. Its ideology is based primarily on Zhirinovsky's ideas of "imperial reconquest" (a "renewed Russian Empire") and on an authoritarian vision of a "Greater Russia".
