“My English is very bad.”

I have always reacted negatively to those who with their snotty noses and erotic fantasies prowl into others’ lives.

The democratic choice Russian people made in the early 90’s is final.

A considerable share of the world’s population still cannot afford comfortable housing, education and quality health care.

No one should be allowed to violently trample on the law.

Nobody should pin their hopes on a miracle.

It is necessary to suppress any extremist actions, on all sides, regardless of their origin.

It is wrong to make anyone into an enemy; it is wrong to scare the people of one’s own country with that enemy and try to rally some allies on that basis.

To forgive the terrorists is up to God, but to send them to him is up to me.

I am convinced that the norm in Russia should become a family with three children.

Terrorism has no nationality or religion.

Those who fight corruption should be clean themselves.

Being gay is not a crime.

Democracy is an internal subject of the developing society.

Haha come fight us now Napoleon.

The United States and Russian security services regularly exchange information.

Our military might is the guarantor of Russia’s security and independence.

Intelligence is so damn rare and the people who have it often have such a bad time with it that they get bitter or propagandistic and then it’s not much use.

You can’t appreciate the good times without the bad ones.

No matter how bad your day is, just be grateful this day is added to your life.

You can’t make a good deal with a bad person.

It is better to be alone than in bad company.

Bad artists copy. Good artists steal.

Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.

If the truth is told, things are just as bad as you yourself care to make them.
