People hate politicians. And I can understand why.

I really hate the people in power. I hate them with every fiber of my being. That is what drives me in almost everything I do.

Putin and his advisers don't understand the power of public opinion in the West. They believe in conspiracy theories and that someone is orchestrating a malicious campaign against Russia. They don't realize that even conservative politicians have to react when newspapers and artists express their concern on such an issue.

Everyone needs to understand that my work addresses existing problems, and one of the crucial problems in Russia today is corruption.

I am not ready to back away from my views.

People don't believe in positive changes anymore.
