Author of quotes: Lev Gudkov

But the main area of his achievements, as understood by these 86%, is international politics, where he, as people say, "forced other countries to recognize the status of the great power of Russia." This is a symbolic fulfillment of the everyday feeling of the constant humiliation of the little man. These are extremely important things. It's when it comes to why people approve of Putin, about values, and not about the interests of raising salaries, which they hope for, but do not really believe. Our oppositionists do not understand this and therefore cannot put forward an alternative system of grounds for self-respect.
