(Motherland's policies) are very, very popular with the Russian people.

Masha Lipman

Russian energy supplies to Hungary in accordance with the current long-term contracts and ambitious joint projects in the oil and gas sector will be high on the agenda.

Sergei Prikhodko

You're definitely playing Russian roulette. You remove those pillars, the roof is coming down. It's inevitable.

Sid Gutierrez

We have some time before this is reported to the Security Council so hopefully in that intervening 30-45 days, or however long it will take, there will be continued negotiations and there will be some changes. Perhaps Iran will come to its senses and respond to the Russian proposal.

Robert Tuttle

Russian literature has a sinister streak, and I think that influence is very evident on this record. I was indulging myself with these books while I was coming up with ideas. Those books are so dark and real and not glam at all.

Diego Garcia

We need European and all foreign companies to be able to invest in upstream in Russia, and for Russian companies to be able to invest in downstream to provide transparency. Companies need to have a right to invest openly without any restrictions imposed by the state.

Igor Shuvalov

Miller has had the Russian National Ballet perform several ballets over the years. They are an outstanding company of dancers.

Thom Cooper

[We believe] that today's weakness related to the news that Russia is pulling poultry import licenses is a buying opportunity. We believe that the Russian government will issue the licenses fairly quickly.

Javad Vaidi

We are hoping to have Croatian and Russian coaches run the camps and clinics.

It's a political game, not simply an economic agreement. The Russian government is using this as blackmail.

The antiterrorist operation was poorly coordinated, and the question remains open whether many of the deaths were caused by Russian forces' use of indiscriminate weapons such as tank cannons and flame-throwers.

Gen Charles Horner

He was reading a Russian newspaper translated into English and the only mention of sports in North America was the Royals' ninth-inning meltdown.

Anatol Lieven

There is no adequate reason to pursue the Russian plan.

Richard Raymond

I think Hasegawa's work is the best thing to come along in a long time as far as bringing out new information. His information is new, and really as far as I can see, is definitive. He looked at the records of the Russian government, the Japanese government and the American government.

Richard Rhodes

We are satisfied with the outcome of our negotiations. We reached mutually beneficial and therefore mutually acceptable agreements, which will allow us to fully meet Ukraine's gas needs, on the one hand, and ensure the transit of Russian gas intended for Europe, on the other hand.

Oleksiy Ivchenko

Russia is saying you can't have your cake and eat it. If you're in the Russian sphere of influence, you get cheap energy. If you aren't, you don't.

Chris Weafer

There is real potential for this crisis to spread. In Crimea the population is 95 percent Russian-speaking, but they are forced to [conduct official business] in Ukrainian. There is really explosive material here.

James Bamford

They're paying a full price relative to the value of other Russian oil assets. It's difficult to say now that he had a gun to his head.

Christopher Weafer

There was a bit of a run over the last few minutes of trading. It was a market response to the announcement of the Russian rescheduling. There was a lot of confusion about those details.

Matt Alexy

This has real been quite an ordeal. This has been a real matter of pride and dignity for the Russian people.

Ryan Chilcote

An ordinary person would not see it, ... aggressive Russian intelligence activity in the United States.

Neil Gallagher

We don't want to be the next Long-Term Capital Management, whose demise was brought about by the collapse of Russian ruble.

We're not saying the Russian sector should be completely ours. It would be a sector in which Russia would play a central role and it would include other countries as well.

Leonid Ivashov

We've learned some Spanish and Russian and Chinese, so everyone gets along. It would be very hard if we didn't!

Tyrece Haynes

We understand that it's already the limit for us. We can't just be the best Russian company -- we have to move forward and also be the best international company. To do this, we have to switch from the PC market to the console market.

Sergei Orlovskiy

This merger combines two high quality businesses and will change the face of Russian retailing.

David Noble

I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma: but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.

Sir Winston Churchill

We are not at all disappointed that the Norwegian government isn't planning to intervene. In fact, all we asked for is to be promised equal playing field in Russia as Russian companies get.

China's foreign trade in 2004 exceeded US$1 trillion, so anyone can see the proportion of Sino-Russian trade and the future potential.

Shen Jiru

That isn't to prejudge what the nature and arrangements will be for Russian participation in KFOR, nor has Russia decided categorically that it is going to be part of KFOR, ... potentially quite dangerous.

Strobe Talbott

Yesterday I asked the Russian government for permission to temporarily bury my father, Slobodan Milosevic, here in Moscow. Belgrade authorities don't allow (the burial). They want to prevent this from happening.

This is bound to have a negative effect on relations. Washington will see this as creating instability near the Russian border.

Yevgeny Volk

RUSSIAN, n. A person with a Caucasian body and a Mongolian soul. A Tartar Emetic.

Ambrose Bierce

We played really well. We were down in numbers because it was Russian Christmas, so we had to rely on our defense and not make mistakes and all-in-all it was one of our better games.

Tj Bailey

The Public Chamber represents a wide range of public associations across the country. Many members of the Public Chamber are people who are well known and respected both in the country and abroad.

Boris Gryzlov

We are planning a public share offering in the near future, most likely on the Russian market.

Andrei Kostin

Russian operators show more interest in CIS countries, as they are closer to Russia geographically and have a similar mentality. These markets are not very attractive for global operators, as income per capita is low. They are interested in other markets, Turkey in particular.

That means that the Russian prime minister took personal responsibility [for the decision].

Alexei Kudrin

In essence, priority national projects are the mechanism that will help us improve the living standards of every Russian citizen.

Dmitry Medvedev

There are over 60,000 Hindus in Russia. In Moscow alone, there are thousands of Hindus of Indian and Russian origin (well over 10,000). However, this peaceful community is being denied a simple right to have a place of worship where they can pray, counsel and celebrate their faith.

Ramesh Kallidai

We have long been warned, including by some Russian politicians, that if we continue the independence policy we are pursuing, if we insist on the withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers and so on, then Georgia will remain without electricity or gas.

Nino Burdzhanadze

German and Russian companies do business on the basis of mutual gain and it will stay that way. But good relations open doors.

Lanny Breuer

It?s because I?m in America, ... It?s enough for me that Russian people know me. French people also know me. In America, I need to do something good, like play great in a Grand Slam or prove (himself) in a tournament like this on TV. Tennis is not important in America like it is in Europe.

Nikolay Davydenko

We have doubts, and we would like to be assured that there will be enough investment. With deep respect to Russian companies, they need help.

We have been making clear to the Russian government that they should move to release Mr. Pope on humanitarian grounds.

Pj Crowley

The issue is politicized, and anti-Russian feelings are being incited.

Viktor Yanukovich

Think of war as a game of Russian roulette. It is a game of chance with your life as the grand prize.
