Vladimir Zhirinovsky (born in 1946) is leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR), he has become a credible politician and is seen as a threat to democratic progress in Russia.
Why is Vladimir Zhirinovsky famous?
His strong, sometimes bizarre views, advocating the use of nuclear weapons and promising the restoration of the Russian empire, initially cast him as a lightweight politician.
