Usage notes
The term is often used by political bloggers and other politically active citizens in Russia and other post-Soviet countries with strong anti-western sentiment as a pejorative against supporters of western liberal democracy, free-market capitalism, and social liberalism. It is a contraction of the word "liberal" and "pederast", as among right-wing Russians pederasty is considered virtually synonymous with homosexuality, the latter of which liberals generally defend.
