Sergei Popov: President’s State of the Nation Address was interesting, but I listened in fear

Moscow, May 26. "The annual State of the Nation Address of the President of Russia was interesting."

This statement was made by State Duma deputy and member of the YABLOKO party Sergei Popov in an interview with a Rosbalt correspondent. Popov also noted that he had listened to the words of the President in fear. According to Popov, the situation in Russia today is such that the exact opposite of all the President’s statements in his state of the nation address tend to be implemented in real life.

"I hope that the provisions of this address will come true, as we all would like affordable housing, the rouble to become a convertible currency and our armed forces to become powerful," said Popov. He also noted that the main danger was also hidden here: the road to hell is paved with good intentions. The main issue troubling me as deputy of the State Duma today is whether the President will have enough will to make the Government and the United Russia party follow the path of reaching the goals of the state of the nation address.
