Russia from the view of Kazakstani, a former USSR citizen
I want to thank the organizers and the guests of this program, since there have been raised the issue of the future of new Russia, which is interesting to me and to anyone, I believe, somehow related with the former USSR.
I hope that Russia as well as my country, Kazakhstan, will have a stable and prosperious life in the future, and will be respected by the rest of the world not from the view of military power, but as a culturally and economically developbed country.
