I really hate the people in power. I hate them with every fiber of my being. That is what drives me in almost everything I do.

As far as I know, the people who are against my candidacy now have the upper hand in the Kremlin. They say: Who knows what the election result will be? We already made that mistake once. And they are also afraid of all the things I would say if they let me run.

No opposition politician has ever taken responsibility for his or her election failures.

I'm only sort of a politician.

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