For Russia, there is not and there may not be another political option but democracy. However, Russian democracy is... not at all the realization of standards imposed on us from outside.

Protest actions and propaganda are two slightly different things.

Russia does not and cannot have any political choice but democracy. I want to say, and even stress, that we share those universal democratic principles taken around the whole world.

If the nation is not capable of preserving itself and reproducing, if it loses it vital bearings and ideals, then it doesn't need foreign enemies - it will fall apart on its own.

Russia and China are very natural partners. We are neighbors with an immense common border.

The United States and Russian security services regularly exchange information.

I think the American people should express their preferences, and we'll accept their choice.

Iraq is a small but very proud nation.

In our Country... one class of men makes war and leaves another to fight it out.

I'm as American as Chevrolet.

The Africans know I'm not an African. I'm an American.

The Africans know I'm not an African. I'm an American.

Beyond doubt it would speedily verify the proverb that a nation must ravage itself before foreigners can ravage it, a man must despise himself before others can despise him.

To be recognised by a whole country is incredible.
