The Right To Private Property

My Parents Were Muscovites. They Worked At The Kaliber Factory.

I Established My Bank In 1988.

Fortunes Are Made, And Disappear, Over The Lifetime Of A Single Generation. Today, A Person In Essence Takes His Wealth From Society Just For The Duration Of His Or Her Lifetime. The Next Generation Has To Create It Anew.

Every Politician Deep Inside Is Authoritarian. If The Person Doesn't Have Ambition, That's Not A Politician. Society Needs To Put Every Ambitious, Every Effective Politician Into Such A Position That It Helps - That This Person Helps Improve Society. That's Why I'm Always Talking About Need To Change The System Rather Than Should We Go With Navalny Or Gudkov Or Yavlinsky Or Khodorkovsky. We All Have Our Ambitions. We're All Ambitious People.

What's Important To Me Now Is To Uphold My Good Name And Achieve A Fair Court Decision - The Past Cannot Be Recovered Anyway.
