Make note: his party has little to no support from the population--my estimate is less than 3% of people-- and that is because he pays the nationalist card.

They got 11,5% in the last parliamentary elections (2003) and they are the third largest party after Putin’s “United Russia” (37,6%) and the communists (12,6%).

Regardless, I have not met a Russian who supported Zhirinovsky's crazy ideas.
