President Stubb:
There is this imperialist DNA and undertone in Russia, which doesn't seem to go away. Russia is built on empire. That's why Putin talks about the Russkiy Mir [the Russian world], the great Russia borders to the 1800s, which has, you know, one language, one Russia, one religion and one leader himself.
So I'm not very hopeful about the future of Russia right now. You know, we thought that Russia and many other countries in this world would just automatically revert to some form of liberal democracy, but it didn't happen.
