“I travel a lot, and meet a lot of people: doctors, teachers, journalists, my colleagues and, very often, just regular folk from the provinces. But I have never met people who believe that our elections are fair, that our court sentences are legal, or that there is any need to keep dying people in police holding cells. No one believes that we should be spending trillions of roubles on weapons, on the Sochi Olympics… I do not know anyone who would vote for the party in power. In truth, these people are sometimes shown on television, and some of them are even important cultural figures.”
