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.

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.

I am not ready to back away from my views.

I'm only sort of a politician.

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

Everyone needs to understand that my work addresses existing problems, and one of the crucial problems in Russia today is corruption.

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.
