Building companies involves creating great wealth. If that means I am an oligarch, OK, it's fine. But if being an oligarch is about buying football clubs, it is not for me.

It is a very big exaggeration to say I am a friend of Mr. Putin.

I am quite girly.

My wealth is reflected in the price of Severstal, and the number of shares I have in my possession doesn't have any impact on the company.

When we put $4 billion into the U.S. economy, they were OK with this. When we preserved jobs in Dearborn, or preserved jobs in Columbus, or preserved jobs in Pennsylvania, everyone was happy.

I am not ready to back away from my views.
