Vladimir Putin is a Russian czar. He’s kind of a mix of Peter the Great and Stalin. He’s got both in his veins. And he looks out first and foremost for the national security interests of Russia. He accepts that, in Eastern Europe, that is a Russian backyard, that is a Russian sphere of influence. Ukraine lives most uncomfortably and unhappily in a Russian backyard Picture Quote #1

Vladimir Putin and Russia. ‘When a bear wakes up from hibernation, he doesn’t eat a few blueberries and then go back to sleep.’ They have their eyes on Eastern Europe, and if NATO is not willing to stand up forcefully to this threat today, it will only become more difficult to do so down the road Picture Quote #1

Two decades after communism and the alleged end of the Cold War, Russia is still a cash economy. The preferred currency is dollars, though euros are also acceptable Picture Quote #1

Reagan won the Cold War by first restoring America’s economy and military and then staring down an economically weakened Soviet Union. He knew defeating Russia couldn’t be accomplished without laying the groundwork Picture Quote #1

The idea that Russia felt emboldened and apparently fearless to go into our election and manipulate our own election process, whether successfully or not, is a sign that they are outside the norms of normal society Picture Quote #1

Thirteen years after the end of the Soviet Union, the American press establishment seemed eager to turn Ukraine’s protested presidential election on November 21 into a new cold war with Russia Picture Quote #1

If Russia wants to use energy as a weapon against our friends and allies, let’s use our resources to set them free Picture Quote #1

My dad grew up in a mud hut and studied by candlelight. He was 14 when he got a scholarship to Russia. He was super clever - the cleverest person. He landed in 5ft of snow, and was alone at 14, studying science and engineering. He didn’t have a bed, and he slept on a table Picture Quote #1

Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, my wife speaks five languages: Russian, English, French, Italian and, out of self-defense, Spanish. I watched her learn Spanish in three months Picture Quote #1

Like for Putin it’s really about hosting this two-week [Olympic] party and showing it off to the world.It’s a pride thing. It’s a big PR exercise for him and for Russia. So, at that point $50 billion and some environmental damage and a small city’s future don’t really matter Picture Quote #1

The Soviet Union came apart along ethnic lines. The most important factor in this breakup was the disinclination of Slavic Ukraine to continue under a regime dominated by Slavic Russia. Yugoslavia came apart also, beginning with a brutal clash between Serbia and Croatia, here again ‘nations’ with only the smallest differences in genealogy; with, indeed, practically a common language. Ethnic conflict does not require great differences; small will do Picture Quote #1

For the European Union, Russia is as important politically and economically as China is to the U.S Picture Quote #1

Every virtue inclines to stupidity, every stupidity to virtue; stupid to the point of sanctity, they say in Russia, - let us be careful lest out of pure honesty we eventually become saints and bores! Picture Quote #1

Whenever I have friends over, we end up eating and talking and losing track of time, and, once in a while, singing karaoke. It reminds me of the family meals we had in Russia, which always lasted a very long time. That’s a tradition I miss Picture Quote #1

My mother’s families were Mennonites or Anabaptists that came to Minnesota from Russia. They were actually moving around Europe doing diking and lowland reclamation work, and they moved into Minnesota Picture Quote #1

I am convinced that the norm in Russia should become a family with three children Picture Quote #1
