A couple of phrases: "It does not sink me." Putin vs Pushkin

“ Fedor Lukyanov : Vladimir Vladimirovich ... You are talking about Europe so well, you are not hurt that you are considered a killer there almost ...

Vladimir Putin : You know, I touch me little, because I turn into a function to a certain extent in the performance of my official duties. And it, this function, has the main goal - to ensure the interests of the Russian people, our citizens and the Russian state .... And I have been used to such attacks for a long time, since 2000, when we have actively fought with the gangs of international terrorists in the Caucasus. There I have not heard what I just did not see. As I was not portrayed: with fangs, and so and that, in all kinds of angles. So it doesn’t sway to me. ”

Meeting of the Discussion Club "Valdai"

“... you know how to evaluate everyone on your work.

Are you pleased with them, a demanding artist?

Satisfied? So let the crowd scolds it

And spits on the altar, where your fire burns,

And in children's abuse, your tripod is hesitating. ”

Alexander Pushkin. " Poet "
