you but you know if we look at the i've always limited to the communist party of russia the russian federation is that it never took the the it failed to take the path of european socialism i mean they still talk about lenin here they talk about marx they'd be the stuff that the vast majority of the people in this country are not interested anymore though i do point out that it does still do well in elections and we can talk about why that is but it's certainly not a hedge a monic power and it will never be that again i mean it's interesting that is that we have earlier in the early late eighty's and early and up to ninety ninety one it was the communist party that unraveled itself but then once it's finally collapsed once it was banned it didn't want to really reform itself any further as my factor got very rigid. it's not quite the same party that is the party that gorbachev ruled over this great big soviet communist party was made up of all kinds of different factions there were conservatives he gets off types there were more reformers there are quite radicals. you know it so there was gorb

we see is strong support of probably go to the government but also the corporate world the russian federation is very supportive there is you begin to zero population so we have police not the cost of the winter olympics in sochi is actually estimated between twenty and thirty billion dollars which is ten times more than games in vancouver from what you've seen is this cost justified absolutely now you have to distinguish the appreciation of course from the investments by the government. the operational costs that is what it costs to organize the games for a period of a month he said that two billion us dollars this is the same sum as vancouver this is the same summer studio so the operational costs do not augment the relational cost funded by local sponsorship by ticket sales but also by support of the international olympic committee to the organizing committee what makes a difference is the fact that in some countries you need to build from scratch everything this is the case in sochi because this is a new sports resort and we had just to have rape and existing went to school too so that ma

competition this is going to leave a great legacy to the country you will have in sochi the russian federation a state of the winter sports resort region something that did not exist before it will have an average of the of the airport that would benefit for the population you would have new roads and new power system and you sewage system so it's not just the games it is the city as a whole thing that whatever is being built in sochi right now where they would winter olympics could also be used as a venue for other massive international sports events absolutely you would have the formula one grand prix you could stage regional events you can stage world championships and you will states who are in there with this was also the early big games many many but i know that security is also among the top issues during the olympic games just how much of a challenge is. in sochi compared to london for example you're going to compare two countries securities are always of paramount importance we have hardware in munich seventy two. the security has to be on top of the priorities and it is on top of it

should use reflects the existence status quo and the outcomes of the world will naturally a russian federation believes that those territories are russian treacherous this is why their oppression of four years and russian leaders president and others visit the treacherous we don't mind. japanese investment would welcome them we would welcome japanese actually to come and work there so if we could not migrate and managed over some other words together this would be a normal process i believe that the economy should go first and politics should follow suit and this is a correct approach in general in life because it's economics that defines our life and politics you know makes it worse oftentimes. the president has very kindly agreed to take some questions from the floor so i'm going to spring this on new whoever would like to ask a question they identify themselves i think there are some. microphones hopefully and i may use my privilege and take that back to questions at some point but i would like to ask a question as well over the. microphone six. it is in the middle of a good day i'll ask my

at the same time we hope that the russian federation will see a greater variety of could see on the shelves of lower prices and draw benefits from a more competitive domestic economic environment always eager to know your view of this story and today we're asking who will benefit most now that russia is to become a member of the world trade organization as a consequence the numbers are stacking up at moment but we see that the majority still think they'll be no winners as the organization only adds to the big financial mess the world is already in run of that's a w t o membership is actually good for russia as a boost its role in the global economy always the same amount believe that moscow is accession will play into the w t o's hands while the remainder think that russia will suffer because it will be able to cope with competition cast your vote talk on good to hear what you said. greece's analysis next prime minister lucas papademos the former vice president of the european central bank will now take over the reins of the embattled country if follows four days of hectic talks between the

we see you strong support of probably good government but also the corporate world and the russian federation is very supportive there is you begin to see where the population so we are now at the cost of a winter olympics in sochi it's actually estimated between twenty and thirty billion dollars which is ten times more than games and then called it from what you've seen is this cost justify it absolutely now you have to distinguish the operational cost from the investments by the government. the operational costs that is what it costs to organize the games for a period of a month he said two billion us dollars this is the same sum as vancouver this is the same service to the notion of the operational cost do not or member. of your original cost are funded by local sponsorship by picket sales but also by support of the international olympic committee the organizing committee. makes a difference is the fact that in some countries you need to build from scratch everything this is the case in sochi be first this is a new sport resort in vancouver we had just to upgrade the existing winter sports

see a strong support of public authorities the government but also the corporate world the russian federation is very supportive there is would be good to see a appropriation so we are pleased not the cost of the winter olympics in sochi it's actually estimate between twenty and thirty billion dollars which is ten times more than kings in vancouver from what you've seen is this cost justify it absolutely now you have to distinguish the operational costs from the investments by the government the operational costs that is what it costs to organize the games for a period of amount is set at two billion us dollars this is the same sum as vancouver this is the same so my studio studio position of course do not open my. idea original cost funded by local sponsorship but i think it's a bit also by support of the international olympic committee to the organizing committee what makes a difference is the fact that in some confirmation need to build from scratch everything this is the case and so she'd be first to see that new winter sport resort. and we had just two great and existing ones as well plu
