Quotations regarding 'Russia'

Choose a letter: 
Homosexuality in Russia is a crime and the punishment is seven years in prison, locked up with the other men. There is a three year waiting list.
Yakov Smirnoff, Russian Comedia (1951-  )
In Russia we only had two TV channels. Channel One was propaganda. Channel Two consisted of a KGB officer telling you: Turn back at once to Channel One.
Yakov Smirnoff, Russian Comedia (1951-  )
The major material advantage, financial advantage from having a reserve currency is that between 200 and 300 billion dollar bills, that may be twenty, fifty, hundred dollar bills as well as ones, exist in the world - a lot of them in Russia as you all know I'm sure.
Robert C. Solomon, American Educator (1942-2007)
For us in Russia communism is a dead dog. For many people in the West, it is still a living lion.
Alexander Solzehnitsyn, Russian Novelist
Today when we say the West we are already referring to the West and to Russia. We could use the word 'modernity' if we exclude Africa, and the Islamic world, and partially China.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Russian Author (1918-2008)
For us in Russia, communism is a dead dog, while, for many people in the West, it is still a living lion.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn, -
Russia will occupy most of the good food lands of central Europe while we have the industrial portions. We must find some way of persuading Russia to play ball.
Henry L. Stimson, American Statesman (1867-1950)
The Japanese campaign involves therefore two great uncertainties; first, whether Russia will come in though we think that will be all right; and second, when and how S-1 will resolve itself.
Henry L. Stimson, American Statesman (1867-1950)
I told him that my own opinion was that the time now and the method now to deal with Russia was to keep our mouths shut and let our actions speak for words.
Henry L. Stimson, American Statesman (1867-1950)
There must be a punitive expedition against the Jews in Russia, a punitive expedition which will expect: death sentence and execution. Then the world will see the end of the Jews is also the end of Bolshevism.
Julius Streicher, Soldier (1885-1946)
Russia is still the leader in world space exploration. But its position of leader involves great responsibility - we have no right to lag behind. We can and we must move constantly forward.
Valentina Tereshkova, Russian Astronaut (1937-  )
If women can be railroad workers in Russia, why can't they fly in space?
Valentina Tereshkova, Russian Astronaut (1937-  )
Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain - at least in a poor country like Russia - and his vanity begins to swell out like his tires. In America it takes an automobile to produce this effect.
Leon Trotsky, Russian Revolutionary (1879-1940)
The U.S. along with China, Japan, South Korea and Russia has an important role to play in containing North Korea's nuclear ambitions and exerting all the influence we can possibly exert.
Zach Wamp, American Politician (1957-  )
In the same proportion Russia is the misfortune of Europe and the Israelites.
Isaac Mayer Wise, American Clergyman (1819-1900)
Russia contains one fourth of the inhabitants of all Europe, and one half of the entire number of Israelites.
Isaac Mayer Wise, American Clergyman (1819-1900)
I have never allowed anti-Russian rhetoric in Ukrainian policy toward such a strategic partner like Russia. This is the first point. I never went against the interests of the Ukrainian state and the Ukrainian people.
Viktor Yanukovych, Ukrainian Statesman (1950-  )
You have no right to criticise Russia over Chechnya.
Boris Yeltsin, Russian Statesman (1931-2007)
There were no strategic mistakes that could affect Russia's history and it further development. No, there were no such mistakes. Tactical errors were made in some less significant options, problems and so on. But, on the whole, Russia embarked on a correct path and it changed.
Boris Yeltsin, Russian Statesman (1931-2007)
We, Russia, are prepared to work with others. I am convinced that stability and security in Europe cannot be considered without taking Russia into account.
Boris Yeltsin, Russian Statesman (1931-2007)
