Xenophobia is fairly widespread in Russia.

We've grown accustomed to injustice in Russia. People are constantly being arrested unlawfully.

I don't know why, but Putin has made a ritual out of humiliating Medvedev. Sometimes I even feel sorry for the prime minister.

We walk by faith, not by sight.

Have a sense of pride in your motherland. Just as your mother has given birth to you, so too the land has given birth to you.
