I'm Only Sort Of A Politician.

I Don't Know Why, But Putin Has Made A Ritual Out Of Humiliating Medvedev. Sometimes I Even Feel Sorry For The Prime Minister.

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.

We Now Live In A Country With A Thousand Political Prisoners, A Country Where Each Week There Are New Trials, Where People Are Put In Jail Because They Liked Something On The Internet.

I've Been Reading This Little Book. It's Called The Russian Constitution. And It Says That The Only Source Of Power In Russia Is The People. So I Don't Want To Hear Those Who Say We're Appealing To The Authorities. Who's The Power Here?
