Russia Quotations | Page 4

But for the Europeans, it is also important to maintain their good ties with the Russians and the Chinese. The cooperation or the lack of obstruction you see from Russia and China at the moment is from the fact that the Europeans gained credibility in the past by going down the negotiations path.

China would regard Russia as the primary alternative source and OPEC is worried about that.

China would regard Russia as the primary alternative source, and OPEC is worried about that.

China is very concerned about the possible hazards to Russia and has informed its neighbor several times of the pollution. Both have pledged to cooperate closely to handle the pollution.

China is a worry, Japan is a worry, Russia is a worry, Italy is a worry. ... But many of these countries now are moving more aggressively and catching up.

China expresses its concern over the current development of the Iran nuclear issue. China hopes that the talks between Russia and Iran can be held on schedule and achieve positive results.

China and Russia are two expanding economies and we hope by offering consumers high quality, affordable product we can take a bite out of piracy.

China and Russia are both shouldering tasks to improve living standards and reach national prosperity.

I live on a plane. I like to visit London. If I had to think where I could live if not Moscow, London would be my first choice, and second would be New York. In Moscow I feel most comfortable. I'm used to four different seasons; it's difficult for people in London to understand. People brought up in Russia like my kids want to play in the snow.

I have never found out that there was in my family an artist or anyone interested in the arts or sciences, and I have never been sufficiently interested in my 'family tree' to bother. My father and mother had come to America on one of those great waves of immigration that followed persecution and pogroms in Czarist Russia and Poland.

I have little doubt that while Iran might produce nuclear power for peaceful purposes that it is also seeking a nuclear weapon. A deal with Russia could delay weapons development, but it would have to be closely monitored.

I have literally thousands of requests for tickets for the quarter-final. We expect about 1,200 people for the match against Russia but the demand for quarter-final tickets is huge.

I have a background in theater. At the time I read 'The Loved Ones' script, I was playing Catherine the Great of Russia onstage. Straight after that, I played Stella in 'A Streetcar Named Desire' and Isabella in 'Measure for Measure.'

Growing suspicions about Western intentions and Moscow's desire to demonstrate its independence and defend its own interests may make it harder to cooperate with Russia on areas of concern to the United States.

France and Russia have oil companies and interests in Iraq. They should be told that if they are of assistance in moving Iraq toward decent government, we'll do the best we can to ensure that the new government and American companies work closely with them. If they throw in their lot with Saddam, it will be difficult to the point of impossible to persuade the new Iraqi government to work with them.

From what I've read on the Internet, I think they went to Ghana, Russia and Portugal. But I'm not sure. They are closed-mouthed. Now I don't even try to bring it up. I can't wait to find out. I really can't.

I don't want to be a Cassandra, but I fear the entire nonprofit sector in Russia is facing dark times. There is spy mania in Russia, and they are specially scrutinizing any organization that has foreign funding.

From the country with limited hope to grow your own business and express your own personality, Russia has become the land of significant opportunity.

Given the surging demand of energy prompted by China's rapid economic growth, Russia would like to increase energy co-operation oil and natural gas in particular with China.

If the ABM Treaty is maintained, Russia is ready for radical cuts with the United States of strategic offensive weapons to as low as 1,500 and even lower than this level,

He went back to Russia last year and was one of the top scorers there in that league and was part of the league champions, ... So we're hoping he can make another step up.

The people have already rid themselves of the fear they had several years ago. I call on my compatriots to begin constructive work in order to revive and renew Russia in the name of national unity.

We support Iran and Russia holding nuclear talks and we hope they achieve positive results.

Having this tension is okay, it's a problem with any growth. Russia is part of the family; we were considered the small kid. Now we are growing and we raise our voice.

We made it very clear to Russia that improvements in (intellectual property rights) are necessary for them to enter the WTO.

I also want to play in the Olympics and would love to represent Russia there as well.

He knew Russia well. It was a country he loved deeply,

It is a different kind of war, where you cannot see your enemy and where there is no front line, but nonetheless this is an entirely real threat, ... Russia is not the only country that faces this new threat.

I think that there are a number of areas where we are cooperating with Russia -- on economic activities, on arms control activities. We need to build on those,

It is clear that Russia is stronger than Ukraine, that it owns the resources and that Ukraine has no real energy sovereignty, but Russia did not succeed in making its will felt.

I was calling double faults on girls from Russia I'd never seen before in my life, ... For a while it got so bad that I go scared. I literally scared me. I was getting 20 out of 20 right, and we're talking about guys who almost never double-fault.

It is one thing to work in a partially free country such as Russia was six years ago. But it is quite another when the country has ceased to be politically free.

It is important that Russia make clear to the world that it is intent on strengthening the rule of law, strengthening the role of an independent judiciary, permitting a free and independent press to flourish,

It is inconceivable that even the gang who runs Russia would be willing to take on war, but one always has to remember that there seemed to be no reason in 1939 for Hitler to start war, and yet he did, and he started it with a world practically unprepared.

It is necessary to coordinate our actions, as both Russia and Norway are interested in combating poaching and illegal fishing.

I was writing my Ph.D. in the late 1980s and was keeping an eye on what was happening in the world. It became obvious to me that Russia couldn't live without computers. I think I worked this out a year before anyone else. I started looking for people who could help import them.

I will not say who won or who lost. The people of Ukraine and Russia won. Europe won because it will calmly receive gas. Common sense won.

I will be far from the only one who will leave after this match (the third place play off against Russia which the Czechs won 3-0 on Saturday).

It is a threat to Russia in particular, which has seen the biggest growth in non-OPEC output in the past two years.

It is a strange market at the moment and frankly I am surprised that the rise we've seen earlier in the week from the Ukraine-Russia dispute is still there. People still feel a bit shaky about what happened in Russia and Ukraine, and with Sharon ill and some uncertainty in Israel.

is doing very little to get Russia out of the present crisis.

OPEC is now talking about a 1 to 1.5 million bpd cut and Mexico and Russia are at least talking about output cuts,

Palladium and platinum are incredibly robust. There are questions about Russia's deliveries -- no one knows what Russia means.

Our counterparts from NASA will visit us late August or early September, and we will then discuss what services Russia can provide to deliver cargoes and crews, and on what terms.

Some of these systems were developed jointly with us, but it's all designed and built in Russia by Russians.

NATO and Russia have an extremely profound disagreement on the subject of the use of force (by NATO in Yugoslavia),

I think Russia now will be mindful of its reputation as a secure energy supplier.

I think Russia is a difficult country, and it's very difficult for people to adapt here, especially if they don't speak the language well.

I think Russia has made a serious mistake. It has demonstrated its willingness to use its gas as a political and economic tool.

I think if you expect change from one day to the next it won't happen, ... Because obviously the Chinese are looking at Russia and they made a big mistake. They made changes from one day to the next and the whole thing did not turn out as successful.

Just because Canada is a class act team and Russia is big in taunting and everything. We just like the way Canada carries itself, and I have a (University of Michigan) teammate on Canada.

Maybe Russia doesn't have such rich stores of reserve like before, but hope does not die. Russian skating will survive and thrive. What the West does not understand is that you don't need so much 'talented skaters' as you need smart coaches. A smart coach can find a good athlete and make him great. In America, there are millions of talented athletes, but still they don't win top medals because they don't know how to make the champions.

Maybe Iran, Venezuela and Russia need to get some fresh air as the fumes from their oil profits continue to cloud their better judgment. Oil power intoxication with an endless stream of oil profits seems to cause a feeling of extreme and all-encompassing power.

We need a new partnership with Russia. We are interdependent. If we need a flow of energy from Russia, namely gas, I believe that it is also in the interest of Russia to have a stable market and a stable relationship with such an important customer as the European Union.

We live in hope and Russia will do everything it can to ensure that as a result of these talks international security will be strengthened and no harm will be done to anyone's interests,

The aim of our negotiation with Russia and the EU was to preserve and maintain the research we have started, and in an appropriate way preserve the rights of all Iranians... (Iran) will not give in to any intimidation and referral to the UN Security Council.

The American day traders have popped up in Russia for the first time.

That's the impression one has to have -- that President Yeltsin is only able to carry out his duties in a highly limited fashion and that all domestic politics in Russia are focused on the question 'When will President Yeltsin's era end and what will come after that?'

will be able to unite those who will renew the great Russia in the 21st century.

We haven't turned down this proposal. The Iranian government is looking attentively at the proposal, but it needs time. So I think Russia should have a certain time to perfect this proposal.

We haven't received any written and definite proposal from Russia yet.

We continue to see Brazil as a challenging area with the currency remaining surprisingly strong and with Russia just banning all chicken imports.

We're all very excited and for the fans here in Belgium, it's a great opportunity to see us together and hopefully we can live up to the expectations. Russia is the defending champion and we'll have to play our best to beat them.

We hope and expect President Yeltsin will abide by his prior statements that Russia will not get militarily involved in this situation.

Without a doubt, this is the most important tournament in our program. The excitement surrounding a push towards qualifying is always electric but with that comes loads of pressure to make sure we are there in Russia this summer.

We're certainly hopeful this will be an additional opportunity for pork shipments to Russia during the fall and winter. This would be a tremendous shot to the arm to the market during a time when we expect to have ample supplies.

We're very pleased with this result. It shows unity in the contact group, unity in the Security Council and it brings the United States and Russia together on this issue.

Socialism in Russia has not brought about an improvement in the conditions of the average man which can be compared with the improvement of conditions, during the same period, in the United States.

We give away tens of billions to Brazil, or to one place or another, without thinking. But in those days, to give even a tiny amount to Russia was viewed almost as anathema by many parts of our own society and our political leadership, whether it was the Bush administration or the Clinton administration.

The problem of skinheads is common to both Russia and other countries, and we should fight it together.

The Quartet - the United Nations, the European Union, Russia and the United States - must move past their formal meetings. The Security Council must go beyond presidential and press statements after its monthly meetings on the Middle East and the Arabs must do more that what they are doing now,

We are delighted with the invitation to Moscow, and we see Russia as a leading country in the United Nations and the Middle East settlement process.

Unfortunately, Russia hasn't adopted the reforms it needs, but we need to work with them to see they adopt the reforms,

You have no right to criticize Russia for Chechnya, ... We are obliged to put an end to the spread of the cancer of terrorism.

When gold and Russia and India are the top-performing sectors, that's a dangerous space to be investing in.

We are confident that Russia's plans are not threatening and are consistent with its obligations, and I think are indicative of a new strategic relationship between the United States and Russia that is focused on reducing threats and increasing confidence.

We don't know what effect this will have yet. We do know that it poses some serious questions regarding our relationship with our allies, with Russia and with China, that we're going to have to consider very, very carefully,

We'll see. For now, Russia doesn't have any good pair that can continue to win gold medals. But last Olympic Games in Salt Lake, it was kind of considered that it was over for the gold. ... Four years passed, and here we still have a gold medal.

We, being the Western world, wouldn't let Russia off the hook on debt. So there were demands on debt servicing in the early days until they ran out of reserves. There was no real aid program, just a fictional aid program.

He considered the Rvolution a victroy for the Jews, which opinion, he said, prevailed on the East Side where rejoicing knew no bounds. We felt, added Mr. Cahan, that this is a great triumph for the Jews' cause. The anti-Jewish element in Russia has always been identified with the anti-revolutionary party. Jews having always sat high in the Councils of the revolutionists, all of our race became inseparably linked with the opponents of the government in the official mind.

Western ambassadors have probably become scared and are trying to prove that the problem with ultra-right groups is now facing not only western Europe but Russia as well.

Well, we are very glad that Russia is so close with NATO.

We welcome, we welcome this good cooperation between Russia and NATO.

When I returned to Russia in 1994, the Western world and its states were practically being worshipped. Admittedly, this was caused not so much by real knowledge or a conscious choice, but by the natural disgust with the Bolshevik regime and its anti-Western propaganda.

When the whole discussion of "developing a national idea" hastily began in post-Soviet Russia, I tried to pour cold water on it with the objection that, after all the devastating losses we had experienced, it would be quite sufficient to have just one task: the preservation of a dying people.

When Russia started to regain some of its strength as an economy and as a state, the West's reaction - perhaps a subconscious one, based on erstwhile fears - was panic.

If we look far into the future, one can see a time in the 21st century when both Europe and the USA will be in dire need of Russia as an ally.

The Gulag Archipelago, 'he informed an incredulous world that the blood-maddened Jewish terrorists had murdered sixty-six million victims in Russia from 1918 to 1957! Solzhenitsyn cited Cheka Order No. 10, issued on January 8, 1921: 'To intensify the repression of the bourgeoisie.'

What would things been like [in Russia] if during periods of mass arrests people had not simply sat there, paling with terror at every bang on the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but understood they had nothing to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people?

As for Europe, its claims towards Russia are fairly transparently based on fears about energy, unjustified fears at that.

A great disaster had befallen Russia: Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened.

Russia is like a dinosaur. A lot of time is needed for change to reach the tail from the head.

You must go deeper into Russia - 150 kilometres from Moscow or more, and look there. The kids are fed with cattle feed - people don't get paid for half a year.

If the war is lost, the nation will also perish. This fate is inevitable. There is no necessity to take into consideration the basis which the people will need to continue a most primitive existence. On the contrary, it will be better to destroy things ourselves because this nation will have proved to be the weaker one and the future will belong solely to the stronger eastern nation [Russia]. Besides, those who remain after the battle are only the inferior ones, for the good ones have been killed.

Besides, there is more that binds us to Bolshevism than separates us from it. There is, above all, genuine, revolutionary feeling, which is alive everywhere in Russia except where there are Jewish Marxists. I have always made allowance for this circumstance, and given orders that former Communists are to be admitted to the party at once. The petit bourgeois Social-Democrat and the trade-union boss will never make a National Socialist, but the Communist always will.

With the defeat of the Reich and pending the emergence of the Asiatic, the African and, perhaps, the South American nationalisms, there will remain in the world only two Great Powers capable of confronting each other-the United States and Soviet Russia. The laws of both history and geography will compel these two Powers to a trial of strength, either military or in the fields of economics and ideology. (2nd April 1945)

If I made peace with Russia today, I'd only attack her again tomorrow. I just couldn't help myself.

Czechoslovakia provided Soviet Russia with landing fields for aircraft, thereby increasing the threat against Germany.

The fight against Jewish world Bolshevization requires a clear attitude toward Soviet Russia. You cannot drive out the Devil with Beelzebub.

Аt the end of the day, unless Iran and Russia want to have a rump Allawite state and a rump Sunni state, and a Kurdish state, then they're going to have to come to the table and bring about an end to this regime.
