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.

I Encourage All My Colleagues To Run For Office Themselves. But It Has Become Extremely Difficult In This System To Become A Prominent Opposition Politician. I No Longer Have Any Rivals To Have A Debate With. I Need Competition. And The People Will Soon Tire Of Me. They Say: Navalny, It's Always Just Navalny. We Want To See Someone New.
