"In the past Russia needed liberty to live ; it must now have it in order to survive.… The challenge of our times is an overhaul of the system of values, the forging of new consciousness. We cannot build a new country with the old thinking.… The best investment is Liberty and the Rule of Law. And respect for man's Dignity.。。"
“过去，俄国需要自由，今天，俄国仍然需要自由...我们挑战它腐朽的价值体系，为此需要打造新的认知；我们不可能在旧思维的沙滩上构建新国家。。。我们倾力肇建未来，首先应从自由与法治这个原点上开始，从尊重“人的尊严”中起航。。对自由的不懈的追寻与向往，才有可能使这个国家于浴火中走向涅槃。。。。”
