I've never dealt with the Russian government, I've never had a relationship with the Russian government.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My government is in no sense anti-Russian.
My relationship has never been good with the government.
I don't feel any connection to Russia.
Russia has nothing: no successful politics or economy.
I've never been involved in any kind of political movement.
As far as my relationship with President Putin is concerned, it's fine.
In the post war period I began again to have my doubts about Russian policy.
I never had a political power base.
Russians aren't perfect. Their politics are messed up, and they keep going through self-defeating economic cycles. But I have a lot of respect for Russia, and a lot of love for Russians.
As for myself, I was never against Russia.
