Agitate! Agitate! Ought to be the motto of every reformer. Agitation is the opposite of stagnation - the one is life, the other death.

We've worked with President Yeltsin. He is the President of the country. He's been a reformer. We've been able to accomplish a number of things together.

Political tyranny is nothing compared to the social tyranny and a reformer who defies society is a more courageous man than a politician who defies Government.

A smile for Meena

It’s like those Russian dolls:
inside the teenager
is the rebel;

inside the rebel
is the revolutionary;

inside the revolutionary
is the reformer.

Make us all proud.
