I am for registered civil partnerships.

I have had a career in public service.

As I prepare to take over the reins of your government, I ask each of you to join me in the process of governing.

All I know is, I think I would like to continue to do public service.

I would like to become the prime minister, do the job for two years, and then leave and devote myself to public work.

I was on my own union council for twenty-odd years.

I am also committed to providing city employees with housing assistance.

My government career is over.

I want to assure you that working in transition period is an ungrateful job for any honest government.

My family didn't have time for me, so I decided to join the Suvorov military academy, which is in St. Petersburg. I spent two years there and studied general military science. At that point, once I graduated, I joined the Chernigov higher education pilot academy.
