Author of quotes: Vityazev Alexander Klavdievich

The conservative approach is not a thoughtless guardianship, not a fear of change and not a game of retention, much less being locked in one's own shell. This is, first of all, reliance on a time-tested tradition, preservation and growth of the population, realism in assessing oneself and others, precise alignment of a system of priorities, correlation of the necessary and the possible, prudent formulation of goals, a fundamental rejection of extremism as a method of action. And, frankly, for the upcoming period of world reconstruction, which may continue for quite a long time and the final design of which is unknown, moderate conservatism is the most reasonable, at least in my opinion, line of conduct.
