"Do you think that Russia has many enemies in the world?"
"Russia does not have internal enemies, there are interests. I wouldn't like to call foreign opponents of Russia's revival as external enemies either: they too have their interests. Global interests are usually defended by all available means, including illegal and criminal means. We can see examples of that happening before our very eyes. These are Bolotnaya Square rallies, the Magnitsky Act, Pussy Riot, the prohibition of free travel to European countries, attempts to hang different labels, supposed authoritarianism and suppression of democracy."
"What may happen if Russia's financial reserves run out earlier than the crisis ends? Will we have time to build anti-crisis mechanisms by that time that will allow us to do without the amassed foreign exchange reserves?"
"We will have plenty of time. There is enough time for anti-crisis measures, which they now begin to take. Take, for example, the address of Vladimir Putin to the Parliament of the country, where he set additional tasks of all structures of the government. I believe we will see the great Russia.
