We are all different, but when we ask for the Lord's blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal.

All people here have political rights, social rights, rights to employment, and no one should face discrimination, but our strategic choice is for traditional families, healthy families and a healthy nation. One does not exclude the other and does not hinder the other. I think this is a balanced approach and is entirely the right approach.

The Soviet Union, and Russia as the successor state to the Soviet Union, is a founding member state of the United Nations and a permanent member of its Security Council.

Russians have different far lofty ambitions; more of a spiritual kind. It's more about your relationship with God .
