I am probably the biggest equity investor in the history of modern Russia.

Newspapers are a centre of public culture. We can’t give in to extortion.

I am not aspiring to be a senior bureaucrat. It would limit my freedom.

I don't believe in democracy by bayonet.

My favorite movies are love stories.
