There is no one else at all who is fighting ISIS on the ground, except for President al-Assad's army.
Vladimir Putin
Image
Today, terrorism threatens a great number of states, a great number of people - hundreds of thousands, millions of people suffer from its criminal activity. And we all face the task of joining our efforts in the fight against this common evil.
Vladimir Putin
Image
I am very grateful to our people who appreciate my work and for their support, as without that support it would have been impossible to get anything done.
Vladimir Putin
Image
I keep [portraits of Jigoro Kano and a bust] at home, in my residence, where I live permanently. It's a very good, high-quality work by a Russian sculptor, depicting not just a strong-willed but also thoughtful and kind man.

One must not allow oneself to skid down to isolationism and unbridled economic egoism. ... The second possible mistake would be excessive interference into the economic life of the country. And the absolute faith into the all-mightiness of the state.
Vladimir Putin
Image
