A very interesting and promising cluster has formed here [in the Russian Far East ], and we would be happy if our potential investors, our counterparts from abroad, first of all those from the Asia-Pacific region, knew more about it.

I think every person should have some faith inside him, in his heart. What matters is not an external display of this faith, but the inner state of the soul.

We need to develop respect for our history, despite all of its flaws, and love for the Fatherland. We need to pay the utmost attention to our common moral values and consolidate Russian society on this basis. I think that this is an absolute priority.

No matter who uses chemical weapons against people and organisations, the international community must formulate a common policy and find a solution that would make the use of such weapons impossible for anyone.

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

We are not going to waste our reserves and burn them for any political ambitions. We will act very carefully.

Our society, including the liberals, must understand that there must be order.
