Everyone says corruption is everywhere, but for me it seems strange to say that and then not try to put the people guilty of that corruption away.

People often say that I represent people who earn a lot of money. Of course, a person who is well-educated and affluent is more likely to support me than Vladimir Putin. But that doesn't automatically mean that the others are against me.

Without any doubt, I am striving for power.

Consistency for me is everything.

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.

Maybe Putin wanted to fire Medvedev , but how is he supposed to do that after my film?

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.
