Toby Gati’s interview with Voice of...
It has to be kept in mind that the system today does not meet Russia’s real needs. I think the most important thing is not any particular proposal about the FSB, but that everyone understands that these state structures today do not protect the population of Russia. Much has already been written about this – that they do not fight against corruption, they do not see corruption, and they do nothing against corruption because it is in their interest to do nothing. And that is why I think that specific proposals are, of course, important, but the most important thing is to understand that the system is not up to what is required for modernization. If modernization is more than a slogan, then one must think about how to implement it.This is not my conclusion. I am an American: I do not have the right to tell Russians what to do, but one can read Russian newspapers every day and see how much is written about this! So this is not advice “from America.”
