"Deputies of the State Duma VI. and VII. convocation and I solved the most difficult problems of the country's development, found optimal solutions to the most difficult situations."

"We have created a system where people, and not management companies, become the main people in the management of apartment buildings."

"Cross-border challenges and threats, which at a certain moment seemed to us to be completely overcome, appeared with a new force."
