I'm Only Sort Of A Politician.

When Men Are Arrested Without Any Legal Basis And For Political Reasons, It's Merely A Routine, Everyday Occurrence In Russia, And Hardly Anyone Has Any Sympathy.

Unfortunately, People Expect A Russian Opposition Politician To Be A Manic Libertarian Who Thinks The Oligarchs Are Great, Who Isn't Interested In The Problems Of Retirees And Who Believes The Invisible Hand Of The Market Will Resolve Everything.

Nobody Wants A Political Prisoner, But A Political Emigrant Is No Problem.

Anyone Who Commits A Xenophobic Crime Has To Be Brought To Justice.

Politics Is Traditionally A Male Domain In Russia.
