I think I know what they mean by Liberals. "Liberal democrats" in the European context is more a sort of a right-of-centre type of party that is still quite progressive and in favour of freetrade, trying to have lots of friendly interaction with neighbouring countries etc. They have traditionally been in favour of things like allowing labour immigration.
Most of the voters tend to be academics, people with good jobs, urban people etc who have not gone all the way to become Conservative. Their big problem is that they don't appeal to enough voters since their agendas require a bit of economic insight, and they are not very populistic, like more left or right leaning parties.

Zhirinovsky has been expelled from Bulgaria for insulting its president and was barred from entry to Germany.[29] In 2005, Kazakhstan declared Zhirinovsky persona non grata on the territory of his historical homeland, due to the politician's controversial speech about the change of the Russia-Kazakhstan border, in which he questioned the Kazakhs' place in history.[30]

In 2006, Zhirinovsky became persona non grata also in Ukraine, following his statements regarding the January 2006 Russia-Ukraine gas dispute (this ban was revoked in 2007). In reaction to Condoleezza Rice's criticism of Russian foreign policy during the dispute, Zhirinovsky stated that "Condoleezza Rice needs a company of soldiers [and] needs to be taken to barracks where she would be satisfied
I don't think any serious person can vote for this man actually. He is making himself totally impossible in international politics.
