One cannot overestimate the options the West has available with which it can apply pressure on Russia.

The Kyoto treaty ... has no scientific foundation

...the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia apparently cherry-picked Russian climate data.

Russia is certainly no longer a free country. We are moving in the direction of Zimbabwe.

We have received no single argument in favour of this document except political pressure. No link has been established between carbon dioxide emissions and climate change. No other objective facts have been presented in recent time. The IPCC's reports in 1990 and 1995 show it clearly.

Ideology on which the Kyoto Protocol is based, is a new form of totalitarian ideology, along with Marxism, Communism and socialism. We had doubts about the Kyoto Protocol, we wanted reasoning from our partners in the European Union, in the IPCC. Formal requests had been sent to these organizations. But we have not received responses yet, which suggests that no coherent answers can be offered. What we hear is 'it is not comprehensive responses that matter, we will not give them anyway; what is important is whether you believe us or not'.
