Roman Tsimbalyuk, Ukrainian agencies UNIAN: How many Russian military were sent to Ukraine and how many of them died?

People who "at the call of the heart" fulfill their duty or left volunteers and participated in hostilities - not mercenaries, because they did not receive money. The Ukrainian military, detained in Russia are not prisoners, they are in places of imprisonment on suspicion of terrorism.

Anton Vernitsky, Channel One: Is the situation with the Russian economy now retribution for the joining Crimea into Russia?

No, it's not in the Crimea. The devaluation of the ruble is a fee for Russia's desire to self -preserve as a nation, civilization, the state. Russia can be compared with a bear, who will always strive to put on a chain and deprive claws and teeth (that is, nuclear deterrence forces), then to select the Taigu. As for the Crimea, after all, Mexico Texas was “curtailed”.

Natalya Galimova, Gazeta.ru: Who do you think “national traitors” and where is the line between the “fifth column” and the opposition? Do you feel responsible for the return of the term “fifth column” that strengthens the split in society?

The question of the boundaries between the opposition and the “fifth column” is complex, this line is difficult to useless and internal. The Fifth Column is people who fulfill the will of other states, and the opposition, even very tough, is fighting for the interests of their homeland. Lermontov, for example, an oppositionist and a patriot, although he wrote "Goodbye, unwashed Russia." I do not feel responsibility for strengthening the split in society, because I rally society, and not share.

Alexey Anishchuk, Reuters: Are you sure of your immediate environment? Do you have a plan for a palace coup?

We have no palaces, there will be no coup. I have support for the people, and this is the most important thing. We do not have elites, our elite is hard workers and peasants. There are rich people, one of them is dissatisfied, but this does not mean that Russia should depend on someone.

Ksenia Sobchak, “Rain”: what about Chechnya, where, after the call of Ramzan Kadyrov, to punish relatives of the militants burn at home and pressed on human rights defenders? Do you think that people are still divided into your associates and “Banderalogs”?

No one gives anyone the right to pre -trial reprisals, and Kadyrov’s statement was made on emotions; Probably someone could use this. There are no bullying people with the policy of the Russian authorities at the level of official organizations. And in Europe there is - Kobzon, Valeria and Gazmanov, the Latvian authorities banned the entrance to the country.

Ekaterina Vinokurova, Znak.com: Are state managers who live in palaces, heads of state and politicians who called for war? And - separately - what is the salary of Igor Sechin?

I don’t know the salary of Sechin, I don’t know mine. But he is an effective manager, regularly does his job. Populism is inappropriate here. As for the environment - there are no officials in my environment, I am not close to anyone. Does someone go too far? Maybe you need to follow this. But this is always and everywhere.

Alexander Kolyandr, The Wall Street Journal: Will you run for president in 2018? Do you feel personal responsibility for the crisis in the economy?

It is too early to talk about the 2018 elections, the decision will depend on the results of the work. The President, of course, is responsible for everything, but the times now are difficult for Russia. There are always errors, but in general, administrative structures cope with the tasks, the policy of the Central Bank and the Government is correct.
