Without Any Doubt, I Am Striving For

I'm Only Sort Of A Politician.

Putin And His Advisers Don't Understand The Power Of Public Opinion In The West. They Believe In Conspiracy Theories And That Someone Is Orchestrating A Malicious Campaign Against Russia. They Don't Realize That Even Conservative Politicians Have To React When Newspapers And Artists Express Their Concern On Such An Issue.

Russia Spends Enormous, Senseless Amounts Of Money On The Army And The Police. We Have One Of The Top Rankings In The World When It Comes To The Number Of Police Officers - But When It Comes To The Number Of Murders, We Are Also Right At The Top.

Politics Is Traditionally A Male Domain In Russia.

We Should Fulfill The Minsk Protocol. The Main Reason For The Sanctions Is That Russia Broke A Taboo: It Triggered A War In Europe. Crimea Is A Problem, But The Most Painful Part Of The Sanctions Is Tied To The War In The Donbas. As Soon As Russia Takes Real Steps To Prevent Shots From Being Fired There, This Part Of The Sanctions Will Be Lifted.
