STORYLINE:

More than 250 people attended a rally in Moscow on Saturday in support of far-right French presidential hopeful, Jean Marie Le Pen.

The rally in Moscow was led by Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) chief and ultra-nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky.

The unexpected success of Le Pen in the first round of France's presidential elections has led to massive protests throughout France - but has given a boost to far-right groups throughout Europe.

Zhirinovsky hit the headlines in the early 1990s for his fiery ultra-nationalist rhetoric - but his popularity has now waned.
