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.

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

President Putin will run again in the 2018 election. He wants to be the czar of this new Russian empire that he is rebuilding. I think he is really obsessed with the idea.

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.

I've been reading this little book. It's called the Russian constitution. And it says that the only source of power in Russia is the people. So I don't want to hear those who say we're appealing to the authorities. Who's the power here?

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

Without any doubt, I am striving for power.
