I'm sure he is ready for his slice of the pie. ;-) why not Putin in charge of the project when he steps down as President? He’d surely get the whole thing moving pretty quickly.

I think his speech was written in russian spelling like in those bad conversation books for beginers who just getting strated to learn english. My personal favourite was Korea - very focussed and precise. To bad they lost it. Money rules the world. Indeed. As for presentations of such scale (and importance) too many misspronunciations.

Its really the type of line you hear from ordinary Russians, every day of the week. Hilarious. “Five minute walking distance.”

Btw, this is so different from when Putin speaks German because German is not seen as a language of imperialism. I hope Ivanov wont speak English much if he's the next one.

Me and Vladimir, well, we've had our differences, but in fairness to him, he sounded very good. Just a thought - why not Putin in charge of the project when he steps down as President? He'd surely get the whole thing moving pretty quickly. Well done Putin, didnt he speak well? Me and Vladimir, well, we’ve had our differences, but in fairness to him, he sounded very good.
