Boris Nemtsov and I began to argue after Putin's return to the presidency in 2012. In my opinion, there was no longer a realistic chance to achieve regime change through peaceful political means, or real elections. Boris, on the other hand, never lost this hope. He felt that my assessment was premature and said: "You have to live a long time to see changes in Russia." He was deprived of that opportunity.

If we look at statistical data, we see that Protestant countries in terms of economic development are more successful than those observing Catholicism.

The growth of violent extremism is partly a consequence of how the developed world has become complacent and defensive about its own greatness and ambition.

I have no idea how long Putin will last. The good news is, Putin doesn't know either. It will be sudden and it won't be peaceful. He has burned his bridges.

Values-oriented foreign policy of the free world would be much better, supported by the self-awareness of being on the right side of history.

Donald Trump envies anyone who can do things he can't.

If you're already in a fight, you want the first blow to be the last and you had better be the one to throw it.
