The only successor to President Putin is President Putin himself and we could of course dream about President Putin stepping down voluntarily and picking out successor which would be probably as bad as him.

The real political life in Russia unfortunately is not in the parliament but on the streets and in the media.

There are many facts showing that Putin's people enriched themselves by using power mechanisms so that's why for them losing power means losing their fortunes.

There are many ways of showing your protest and discontent without the actions of Kremlin.

Ukraine had quite serious impact on the many Russians. They could see that ordinary people in Ukraine which is a bordering state, very close to Russia, the people of this state are, they didn't want to tolerate anymore the power abuse by Ukrainian officials.

Women, by their nature, are not exceptional chess players: they are not great fighters.

Putin can't afford to leave the office because he will be in real danger of being prosecuted for things he and his people did during their stay in power.

More and more people in my country recognise the dangers of having their governors appointed by Putin and having no influence in parliament because Parliament today is also following instructions from Kremlin and no longer represents its people.

We have to stop the propaganda, the shameful propaganda used by Kremlin to rehabilitate these old types.

I think we have very steady records of President Putin, who inherited the country with democratic values.

I learned that fighting on the chess board could also have an impact on the political climate in the country.

I have some strategical vision, I could calculate some few moves ahead and I have an intellect that is badly missed in the country which is run by generals and colonels.

I have some security that could protect me against provocations but of course there are more terrible actions that could not be stopped by any security.

Chess is mental torture.

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