If European countries want to cater to U.S. foreign policy interests, I don't think that they stand to gain anything.
Vladimir Putin
Image
We have created stability, which is a necessary condition for development. But I can't call this system authoritarian.
Vladimir Putin
Image
If we speak about fundamental things, regulation of the rate is actually the function of the main regulator, namely the function of the Central Bank. And it should think of how the economy and industry react, but also of its fundamental tasks in order to ensure the stability of the rate.
Vladimir Putin
Image
Our intention is to develop music, theatre and exhibition activities on the Far Eastern regions.
Vladimir Putin

Nothing matters for a drastic change in Ukraine more than political transformations.
Vladimir Putin

The reputation of those countries which cater to the foreign policy interests of other states at the expense of their own national interests will go down regardless of how they explain their actions.
Vladimir Putin
Image
I believe that global common interests are a good foundation for finding solutions together.
Vladimir Putin
Image
Nowhere is it written that NATO had to accept certain countries. All that would have been required to refrain from doing so was the political will. But people didn't want to.
Vladimir Putin
Image
For Russia, there is not and there may not be another political option but democracy. However, Russian democracy is... not at all the realization of standards imposed on us from outside.
Vladimir Putin
Image
After the demise of the Soviet Union, we had many problems of our own for which no one was responsible but ourselves: the economic downfall, the collapse of the welfare system, the separatism, and of course the terror attacks that shook our country. In this respect, we do not have to look for guilty parties abroad.

Next year [2017], we are going to hold a series of events there that we would like to call Russian Seasons [in Japan]. Over 40 different activities - and what is more, in different cities.
Vladimir Putin
Image
Those who fight corruption should be clean themselves.
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.
Vladimir Putin
Image
Our common goal should be the development of a system of equal security for all governments. System adequate [to deal with] modern threats, built on regional and global nonaligned bases. Only then can we ensure peace and tranquility in the world.
Vladimir Putin
Image
Even during the years of the Cold War, the intense confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States, we always avoided any direct clash between our civilians and, most certainly, between our military.
Vladimir Putin
Image
There is another domain that we consider relevant and having good prospects - marine biology. For many years this region [Russian Far East] has been home for one of the leading institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Marine Biology.
Vladimir Putin
Image
Respect for sovereignty means to not allow unconstitutional action and coup d'états, the removal of legitimate power.
Vladimir Putin
Image
Russia is probably one of the first countries to have been confronted with this problem of terrorism. It took some time before the international community realised the danger terrorism poses.

Journalism, as concerns collecting information, differs little if at all from intelligence work. In my judgment, a journalist's job is very interesting.
Vladimir Putin

The Prime Minister [Shinzō Abe] also highlighted the need to address general humanitarian issues. We already mentioned one of these issues: visa-free travel by Japanese citizens to the South Kuril Islands.
