yevgenia, thank you very much for your explanation that i mostly agree with. the thing that strikes me is your difference of assessment between you and the ambassador about putin's role. you say putin a hostage, almost a hostage. the ambassador is saying that for example the billing of boris nemtsov was signed on senior levels, more senior which i'm personally not agreeing with, it wasn't putin. >> okay. >> i didn't say that, either. >> but the question to you is to what extent putin is a hostage and he's fed up with this role, can he on his next term, which is at least six years, can think of again authorized in power not to be the front company for the whole different interests which are competing now. and to ambassador vershbow, what indicates to you that, you know, many of these major decisions like killing of boris nemtsov and so forth, invasion of crimea, is made by putin himself? in what -- how do you say it? how much he's in control? what do you think? in foreign politics, too. >> thank you very much for your question. let me put it this way, he's a wi
