We have a new, real world champion here today,

It is pointless to discuss today who will run and how.

The scale of the man to whom we are bidding farewell today in no way corresponds to the paltry scale of today's authorities.

Russian Parliament today is a bunch of puppets that just fall in with the instructions from Kremlin.

It didn't take long to recognise the shortcomings of the Soviet regime and to see the values of the free world.

I think Russians today have a distorted picture of capitalism, liberal democracy and market economy.
