In Russia, or anywhere, people don’t like rich people. Yeah, OK, I have money, but the question is how I use it. It’s not easy, believe me; it’s not easy.

We are in the process [of seeking a strategic partner], and, I believe, we will finish it by the summer.

We believe that Goldman, as the market leader, will attract the best professionals to work in the Russian and, first and foremost, Moscow real-estate markets.

We have signed an agreement with the regional authorities that the stake will be sold at a public auction.

It won’t be a present.

We are not shutting down all our projects while we wait for an answer.

We haven’t got an answer yet.

We have a very interesting and very serious potential international partner.

My personal opinion is that I’m in the media too much. I’m not a politician, I’m a businessman. I would like to be without any extra visibility.

I like football, but I think this is a very personal matter. I don’t see any negatives for some Russian rich man to buy a football club.

My parents were ordinary people; we lived in a small apartment.
