You know what is ambassador's job? To have as many contacts in political establishment as possible. This is the job of Russian ambassador in Washington, of American ambassador to Moscow and of every ambassador in every country of the world.

We're all as bureaucrats, or people who are - who work for state, every year we present our declaration of our incomes and expenditures to our special organs who control and double-control the declaration.

Of course Russia is, let's say element, of American election campaign, was on the agenda to some extent but the influence of that element could have hardly been critical.

We're patient enough to wait until we understand what are the approaches of the present administration. We understand that they - the present administration still needs time to be more precise in formulating their main ideas in terms of Russia.

All our, let's say, incomes are really very well, transparent to those organs who need these information and who are in charge of combating corruption in our country.

I think if Rusian and U.S. presidents meet each other, if they exchange views, then there will be a chance for our volatile relations to get better.

If we're at the lowest point in history, that means we're in a new Cold War.
