I think Russian people are learning that democracy is not an alien thing; it's not a western invention.

I think that it's a vital moment now for Russian democracy to convince people that it's only our actions, our joined actions and protests that could force Kremlin to reconsider its plans to abolish presidential elections.

I think Russians today have a distorted picture of capitalism, liberal democracy and market economy.

Russian Parliament today is a bunch of puppets that just fall in with the instructions from Kremlin.

One of the strengths, and weaknesses, of liberal democratic societies is giving the benefit of the doubt even to one's enemies

I wouldn't overestimate the importance of my popularity in the country and abroad but at the end of the day it's not as important because I believe that my presence here could make some difference and it could encourage people.
