More quotes by Vladimir Putin

Vladimir Putin
How can a bureaucrat or a politician be trusted if he says loud words for the sake of Russia's good while trying to take his funds, his money abroad?
Vladimir Putin
Frankly speaking, we all know that provoking military and political instability, regional, and other conflicts is a helpful means of distracting the public from growing domestic social and economic problems in certain countries. Such attempts cannot be ruled out, unfortunately.

Back in 1956, we signed a treaty and surprisingly it was ratified both by the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union and the Japanese Parliament.

Vladimir Putin
We have spoken on many occasions of the need to achieve high economic growth as an absolute priority for our country. The annual address for 2003 set for the first time the goal of doubling gross domestic product within a decade.
Vladimir Putin
European and American values do not fully coincide.
Vladimir Putin
How can I be a gangster, if I worked for the KGB? It is absolutely ridiculous.
Vladimir Putin
I assume that our colleagues from both the United States and the European Union will proceed from current humanitarian law and ensure political freedoms and rights of all people, including those who are living in the territory of Baltic states after the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
Vladimir Putin
There is something that I have in common with every citizen of Russia, the love for our motherland.
Vladimir Putin
No references to the need to fight terror can be an argument for restricting human rights.
Vladimir Putin
I would like to repeat: I know absolutely nothing about [hacker's attacks], and Russia has never done anything like this at the State level.
Vladimir Putin
Under our regional cooperation projects, we are building roads and bridges. The scope of regional cooperation [with China] is constantly growing.
Vladimir Putin
Admire? No, I have never said that. I still appreciate Angela Merkel as a very professional and open person.
Vladimir Putin
I insist that people - wherever they live - have their rights and they must be able to fight for them.
Vladimir Putin
