Think before you speak, and don't say everything you think.
He who shoots first laughs last.
Most Russians don't care whether they are ruled by fascists or communists or even Martians as long as they can buy six kinds of sausage in the store and lots of cheap vodka.
You must go deeper into Russia - 150 kilometres from Moscow or more, and look there. The kids are fed with cattle feed - people don't get paid for half a year.
I mean that at least 80% of the Russian people feel destitute. It's the people who had their past and future taken from them - they don't get paid - many of them face a wall. They have nowhere to go.
I have equal contempt for both left and right radicals.
Russia is like a dinosaur. A lot of time is needed for change to reach the tail from the head.
First of all I would make about 80% of the people law-abiding citizens again. The policy which is carried out now makes every entrepreneur and businessman a thief against his own will.
There is no reason why I should call myself a democrat.
I am a Soviet man, and Yeltsin is a Soviet man - maybe our grandchildren will be different.
