As Far As I Know, The People

In Russia An Authoritarian Leader Is Running The Country. You Can't Fight Putin With Elections Because He Controls Them. That's Why Demonstrations Are The Most Effective Approach. Unfortunately Russia Has Sunk To This Primitive Level.

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.

Certain People Have Wanted To Put Me Behind Bars For A Long Time Now. That's Part Of My Work. If I Were Afraid, I Couldn't Do What I Do.

I'm Only Sort Of A Politician.

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.
