I never complain. I chose the road of fighting with the Ukrainian oligarchy in 1996, and have paid for this with my freedom and that of my husband, my father and my close friends.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wholeheartedly support the aspirations of the Ukrainian people for a democratic, free and just society where the rule of law prevails without corruption or government violence directed against citizens.
I guess I have never been much of a complainer. You just take what is given you, and don't complain about what you can't affect.
My parents were angry, but they were relieved that I was in good condition. They had been afraid the Russians would torture me. They told me not to do it again!
I am just sorry my own mother had to live under that regime for most of her life. I was lucky. I got out and, 14 years later, Czechoslovakia became a free country. So I feel anger, even fury, at this bloody system that ruined so many people's lives for no reason whatsoever.
I got into politics because I was tired of complaining.
I don't think I'm really in a situation to complain, because I consider myself to be privileged to be doing what I do.
I have nothing to complain about.
Before I left Russia in 1999, I was living in a very poor factory town with my family and friends, and nothing was ever going to change.
There are times in life when, instead of complaining, you do something about your complaints.
I was very upset because I did not have a fair trial to prove my loyalty to this country.
