The Russian head of state called all suggestions that Russia is seeking to play some special role “nonsense.” However, he noted that our country “has advantages that must be used.” Such an advantage, from Putin’s point of view, is, for example, that “almost 100 percent of the population of the post-Soviet space” speaks Russian. The president is most concerned about “extra-parliamentary methods of struggle” in this space. By the way, anyone in his place would be worried.
