เสรีนิยมพรรคประชาธิปัตย์

The Russian Liberal Democratic Party, often abbreviated as LDPR, is a political party in Russia that has played a significant role in the country's political landscape since its inception. Despite its name, the party's ideology and values diverge…   significantly from what is traditionally understood by "liberal democracy" in Western political discourse. Founded in 1989 by Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the party has been characterized by its nationalist, populist, and sometimes ultranationalist rhetoric.<br /><br />The LDPR's values and policies have often centered around the expansion of Russian influence and power, advocating for the rights of ethnic Russians in the near abroad, and sometimes promoting controversial and aggressive foreign policies. Domestically, the party has called for strong, centralized leadership, and it has often taken stances that are authoritarian in nature. Its economic policies have varied over time but generally mix elements of state intervention with nationalist protectionism.<br /><br />The party's appeal has been rooted in its ability to tap into the frustrations and insecurities of parts of the Russian population, offering simple solutions to complex problems and often employing fiery, populist rhetoric. Zhirinovsky, until his death in 2022, was a particularly flamboyant and provocative figure, known for his outrageous statements and stunts, which contributed to the party's image as both a serious political player and a source of political spectacle.<br /><br />Despite its name, the LDPR does not advocate for liberal democratic principles such as pluralism, civil liberties, and political freedoms in the manner that these concepts are understood in liberal democracies. Instead, it has positioned itself as a nationalist, sometimes anti-Western party that seeks to restore Russia's power and prestige, often at the expense of democratic norms and principles. Over the years, the party has maintained a consistent presence in the Russian political system, securing representation in the State Duma and influencing the national discourse, though its actual power and influence have fluctitated depending on the political climate and its relationship with the ruling authorities.อ่านเพิ่มเติม
