If Russia rises, it means that the USA falls down.

If Russia rises, it means that the USA falls down.

The matter of international relations is very subtle and exquisite.

We'll surely stop the work of all western Christian and eastern religions, and also Islam.

And, for instance, Baptists, Adventists, Lutherans, Pentecostals - let them exist on line with others.

Americans try to talk about positive family values, although the actual state of things is disastrous.

The civilized world needs to think about a decision when single politicians are not allowed to stay in power.

I didn't sign any contracts, and I didn't see any oil.

There is no problem with the opening of new houses of prayer for Lutherans and Pentecostals.

I mean, in general, the danger is from Oriental faiths and Islam.

We'll limit in all ways the work of religious faiths which are foreign to us.

Europe has united, China is growing speedily and Russia possesses immense power in terms of fuel resources. The US administration cannot do anything about it.

The USA experiences the crisis of ideological and moral values.

I'm against the capturing of Eastern Orthodox temples.

We don't need this religious cosmopolitanism. It's no good.

The only thing I oppose is persecuting of Eastern Orthodox priests and temples.

I believe in full freedom for Christians of all denominations.

Russia is an Eastern Orthodox country.

A mother-in-law is better than a single and childless political persona, though.

The true reason of Ms. Rice's attack against Russia is very simple. Condoleezza Rice is a very cruel, offended woman who lacks men's attention.

We must force the government to stop the bird migration. We must shoot all birds, field all our men and troops... and force migratory birds to stay where they are.

Military police is very timely for our army.

Let Catholics build their own churches and works.

I've never signed any contract and never received a cent from Iraq.

Here in Russia,, in many cities, people are irritated by Caucasian intrusion. Caucasians come from foreign countries; they are ubiquitous: in markets, shops, hotels, restaurants. They misbehave, and in this sense we have feelings similar to those that the Germans have toward the Turks and the French toward Algerians.

The West will have to choose: either to come to terms with Russians, or to receive a retaliatory blow. This retaliatory blow will not be by means of war. We will resort to the same weapon: nationalism.

There is no such thing as Russian fascism. You won't find a single Russian who considers Russians to be a superior race and who advocate expulsion of aliens.

Russia can be quite a dangerous place sometimes, but I never think about it.

The way the business things work in Russia is you have to meet people, you have to go through a certain amount of etiquette and business things are done just simply by a shake of the hand and whether they like you or not.

Men who are scandalized at the lack of freedom in Russia do not ask themselves how real is liberty among the poor, the weak, and the ignorant in capitalist society.

When I was 12, every little girl in Russia was trying to wear her hair like mine and playing tennis.

My dad was born in Chicago in 1908... his parents came from Russia. They settled in Chicago, where they lived in a little tiny grocery store with eight or nine children - in the backroom all together - and my grandmother got the idea to go into the movie business.

I think there is a good deal of promise in those discussions as well. I think there is a range of matters that might be discussed between NATO and Russia that can provide a mechanism for talking through these issues, a way to give reassurance on these issues.

In modern Russia, you have no official, formal assessment of this past. Nobody in any Russian document has said that the policy of the Soviet government was criminal, that it was terrible. No one has ever said this.

There is an enormous difference between Russia and Western Europe.

Russia also declared its independence. This was approved by the Supreme Soviet, and you know and remember that there was the Declaration on the Independence of Russia.

Ours is a country built more on people than on territory. The Jews will come from everywhere: from France, from Russia, from America, from Yemen... Their faith is their passport.

We, Russia, are prepared to work with others. I am convinced that stability and security in Europe cannot be considered without taking Russia into account.

I didn't choose Russia but Russia chose me. I had been fascinated from an early age by the culture, the language, the literature and the history to the place.

Russia knows of the vulnerability of her frontiers in this part of the world.

The secret of politics? Make a good treaty with Russia.

As Jews, their families left Russia to escape the poverty and the antisemitism.

In emerging democracies like Russia, in authoritarian states like Iran or even Yugoslavia, journalists play a vital role in civil society. In fact, they form the very basis of those new democracies and civil societies.

Firstly, economic globalisation has brought prosperity and development to many countries, but also financial crises to Asia, Latin America and Russia, and increasing poverty and marginalisation.

The Russian drama began at the end of 1991, when the Soviet Union mercifully ended. Russia and 14 other new countries emerged from the ruins of the Soviet Union. Every one of those 15 new states faced a profound historical, economic, financial, social and political challenge.
