If you make a decision to fight for future of your own country you have to consider all the consequences.

Winning is not a secret that belongs to a very few, winning is something that we can learn by studying ourselves, studying the environment and making ourselves ready for any challenge that is in front of us.

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

The worst enemy of the strategist is the clock. Time trouble... Reduces us all to pure reflex and reaction, tactical play. Emotion and instinct cloud our strategic vision when there is no time for proper evaluation.

There's the blazing Russian Caucasus, with an ongoing war all against all, which is not to be neglected.
