People hate politicians. And I can understand why.

I am not ready to back away from my views.

I'm concerned with protecting the legal system.

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

When men are arrested without any legal basis and for political reasons, it's merely a routine, everyday occurrence in Russia, and hardly anyone has any sympathy.

After Trump's election victory, I explained why there would be no friendship between Putin and Trump. The contradictions between the systems are too great. And Putin needs an enemy. He wants to be the leader of the anti-American, anti-European world. And given that he cannot be friends with their heads of state and government, he instead needs to generate scandals and resistance.

Our political leaders often talk about Russia taking an independent path, but they like to live like people in the West.
