Legal reform in Russia is a must. And I keep track of it daily.

If I still lived in Russia, I'd be dead... or a really effective oligarch.

The best thing we can do if we want the Russians to let us be Americans is to let the Russians be Russian.

I've decided that the political context is such that the only way reform will finally come about in the Russian military is that the deterioration goes beyond the point to which these old generals can stand up there and resist it.

Everyone needs to understand that my work addresses existing problems, and one of the crucial problems in Russia today is corruption.

We have to reform the entire political process. It's got to start with leadership by example.

The secret of politics? Make a good treaty with Russia.

I would be delighted if the United States could have a positive relationship with Russia, and I would be thrilled if the Russian people, who are so capable, had a normal country that they could chart a different future.

Russia is tough. The history, the land, the people - brutal.

Political activities in Russia should be as transparent as possible. Financing political activities from abroad is something the state should keep an eye on.
