That year, his party won the largest share (about 23%) of the popular vote in the elections, and Zhirinovsky was first elected to the new Russian State Duma. In 1995 his party was the runner-up to the Communists in the elections for the Duma. Denounced as a fascist and xenophobic extremist by his opponents, he was nonetheless popular with many Russians.

In the late 1990s his popularity waned. In 1996 Zhirinovsky again ran for president but received only a small percentage of the vote. His party has not placed better than third in parliamentary elections since 1999, and he won less than 10% of the vote in the 2000, 2008, 2012, and 2018 presidential elections. From 2000 to 2011 he served as vice chairman of the State Duma. In recent years he has created controversy with his calls for annexing the Central Asian nations that were formerly part of the USSR.
