I want to say that Russia is developing along a democratic path, this is without question so. No one should have any doubts about that. The fact that, amidst political rivalry and some other domestic developments, we see things happen here that are typical of other countries, I do not see anything unusual in it. We have rallies, opposition rallies. And people here have the right to express their point of view. However, if people, while expressing their views, break the current legislation, the effective law in place, then of course, the law enforcement agencies try to restore order.

Let us not forget that we have two governmental reserve funds: the Reserve Fund and the National Wellbeing Fund that represent together $100 billion.

I was brought up in a very ordinary family, in fact, a worker's family. Both my father and mother were ordinary citizens.

Presidents come and go, and even parties come to and away from power. But the main policy tack does not change.

Donald Trump is a brilliant and talented person, without a doubt.

I am very grateful to our people who appreciate my work and for their support, as without that support it would have been impossible to get anything done.

I'm eternally grateful to fate and the citizens of Russia that they've trusted me to be the head of the Russian government.
