One that comes to the middle East, always loses, if not out on time.

A tragic mistake of the foreign policy of the last twenty-five years, not the last three or four, is the desire to please the West and hope that will take us there. It was a tragic mistake, which led... We are complicit in the ongoing tragedy in Ukraine, because for too long we were smiling, I thought that somehow resolve; at random; signed the founding act NATO-Russia, and it all lasted until about 2008 - 2009 - we tried to negotiate... And we are, therefore, of our neighbours, too, as if the sirens were driven; they thought that we are and will be that generally they will always win. If we would stand up to harder, there were a decade ago, then maybe there would not be this tragedy of Ukraine, which is now hopeless... It's our fault.

Do you believe in "original sources", except, of course, official statements of the Russian Government? <...> I prefer "the source" not to believe, because we are in the so-called fog of war, and the first thing that dies in war is the truth.

Very easy to be better than the other, and very hard - better than himself.

Envy is not only a sin, envy is a driving force of evil! <...> Envy can be the driving force to do better, and can be a destructive force in order to destroy someone who is doing better than you.

Never judge your life by the lives of those who live better than you. Judge by the lives of those who live worse... there's always more, and you will fall off problem.

Why do you call us [Russia, Russian] uncivilized? Because we are not conquered! No other concept of "civilizovani" Western civilization there, except the conquest!

I, for one, think the greatest, in my opinion, sorry, stupid to think of any special value. Well, I must say, it was invented in Europe. These European values, I don't know what... How can there be European values, how can there be Chinese values Indian values? The value of human one. They are United, because we are biological beings, all together. <...> Sorry, it's a European invention, by the way, the last probably fifteen to twenty years. <...> Human values-that is, it is obvious. Me and Jacob, [the opponent in the debate - Jakub Koreyba] certainly there are shared values: Yes, we love our children; we love probably women. <...> The thing is that they are common - value... and we, the Chinese, and the Europeans. But the Europeans build some his, some special values which you must meet. What it is is unclear, I don't understand.

From the point of view of ideology, I can tell you, Yes, we replaced the empty disbelief and the disappointment of the Soviet Union, state nationalism, patriotism, which is shared by the majority of the population. It is a strong Foundation for the preservation of the state, so Russia is much stronger than the Soviet Union.
