“I was proud of my Soviet country, of wearing Young Pioneer uniform, bombarded by my mother's Communist propaganda.”

“I am president of Russian Standard Company, biggest luxury vodka in Russia. My bank, Russian Standard Bank, issues biggest number of credit cards in Russia. I want for Russian people to have their own best vodka, their own best bank, their own best credit card.”

“A lot of people offered me to go public, but I have always rejected it.”

“We live in a culture where we're bombarded with so much noise and so much insecurity.”

“We are deluged with information. We have to process now three times as much data as we would have done 50 years ago. We're bombarded with tweets, with emails - a state of continuous disruption - and that's bad for our decision making and bad for our thinking.”

“We are faced with the dilemma of how or if we demonstrate where we stand on critical issues and corresponding social ills. We are also bombarded with so many instances of inhumanity that it can be difficult to determine what part we play in human progress.”
