This passage just about sums up how the Western view of Zhirik is distorted:

"The key to understanding Zhirinovsky as a political phenomenon is the realization that while he excels at getting attention, almost nobody takes his ideas seriously, said Masha Lipman, an analyst at the Carnegie Moscow Center. "He's often described as an ultranationalist in the West," she said. "That's part right. He's a buffoon with ultranationalist rhetoric. He always caters to the tastes of the discontented audience."'
