On the last episode of debates with Prokhorov, just before the elections, Zhirinovsky caused a scandal by the Russian celebrities that supported Prokhorov, including a pop-diva and a veteran of Russian pop scene Alla Pugacheva, "prostitutes". Pugacheva had responded to those remarks by saying, "I thought you are an artful person, politician, cunning man, but you are just a clown and a psycho". Zhirinovsky retorted by declaring, "I am what I am. And such is my charm."[2]
