The natural economic, humanitarian and social integration, do not require any armed forces.

It is my greatest desire, I want the people in Russia to be happy and I want our partners around the world to seek to develop relations with Russia.

We would like to see science and higher education developing here [on the Russian Far East], so that it could become one of the major research centres in the entire APR system. Undoubtedly a lot remains to be done here, but given the labour market demand, the relevance of such a university is undeniable.

Russia is a part of European culture. Therefore, it is with difficulty that I imagine NATO as an enemy.

We see that leaders in Western Europe [there are some debates of course, we also see that and analyse it all] stick to, I cannot say right or wrong ones, it always depends on someone's view, but I think, very pragmatic approaches in addressing economic issues.

My personal position is that society must keep children safe.

Political activities in Russia should be as transparent as possible. Financing political activities from abroad is something the state should keep an eye on.
