"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.。。"
「過去，俄國需要自由，今天，俄國仍然需要自由...我們挑戰它腐朽的價值體系，為此需要打造新的認知；我們不可能在舊思維的沙灘上構建新國家。。。我們傾力肇建未來，首先應從自由與法治這個原點上開始，從尊重「人的尊嚴」中起航。。對自由的不懈的追尋與嚮往，才有可能使這個國家於浴火中走向涅槃。。。。」
