I think very poorly of United Russia. United Russia is the party of corruption, the party of crooks and thieves. And it is the duty of every patriot and citizen of our country to make sure that this party is destroyed.

Certain people have wanted to put me behind bars for a long time now. That's part of my work. If I were afraid, I couldn't do what I do.

Putin has reversed all the liberalizing reforms carried out by his predecessor.

Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev can no longer attend concerts by his favorite group Deep Purple without having to fear that the musicians will wear T-shirts with Pussy Riot written on them.

People aren't really afraid of my views. They are just afraid of the word 'nationalism.'

People hate politicians. And I can understand why.

Without any doubt, I am striving for power.
