Whatever the shortcomings, mankind has not devised anything superior.
3. Russia will not soon become, if it ever becomes, a second copy of the United States or England - where liberal value have deep historic roots.
4. My sacred duty is to bring together the Russian people, unite the people around clear tasks. We have one Fatherland, one people and a common future.
