I am joining the government not from the academic position but from St. Petersburg city council.

I joined the city government, and we start to operate as the bureaucrats on the local level, so we were the only ones in the whole Russian team who were experienced in practical bureaucratic management in the complicated condition of 1990.

I am a story-teller, and I look to academic research... for ways of augmenting story-telling.

I am Eloise. I am six. I am a city child. I live at The Plaza.

The diversification of the people's demand could not be followed by the state apparatus.

The system physically cannot cope with growing demand. Even if we invest today we are not going to see the result for the next three years.
