Quotes. 'Our election program states that if you remove those who are financially interested in the war, it will end. In this case, the former president and his entourage were interested in continuing the war. We removed them, and I am sure it will end. The war will stop being profitable.'

'Do they want to wage war? Do you think Putin is a psychopath who loves to shoot at living people? Is he insane? He is a smart person. Yes, he has imperial ambitions. But we can agree. And if not, then we are really waging a war. Isn't it so: fighting with one hand and negotiating with the other? The most important thing is the desire of at least one side, otherwise there is no prospect for peace.'

'The language law must be repealed and a reasonable law must be adopted. This is the first step towards ending the war.'

Family. Married. Wife Shefir Elena Valentinovna, daughter Margarita Shefir.
