Without any doubt, I am striving for power.

I'm not going to appeal to violence or aggression - of course not.

In Russia an authoritarian leader is running the country. You can't fight Putin with elections because he controls them. That's why demonstrations are the most effective approach. Unfortunately Russia has sunk to this primitive level.

I am not ready to back away from my views.

We've grown accustomed to injustice in Russia. People are constantly being arrested unlawfully.

Russia should join the international coalition against Islamic State. It is absurd that we are intervening on the side of the Shiites in a war between Sunnis and Shiites even though almost all Russian Muslims are Sunnis. Putin is creating big problems for us in his attempt to help Bashar Assad.

Stupidity is not a crime.
