L. GOZMAN: I think that, in general, a normal person, an intelligent, cultured person should always be in opposition to the government, unless they work directly for the government themselves. Because power is never ideal. And those who hold power are never ideal either. There is always injustice, always cruelty, always plenty of reasons why one should be in opposition, why one can be in opposition. N. BOLTYANSKAYA: Leonid Yakovlevich, but excuse me, please, who told you that 100% of the population, say, of Russia (since we are talking about Russia now), are intelligent, cultured people? L. GOZMAN: Excuse me, I’m not talking about 100% of Russia’s population, I’m talking about intelligent, cultured people. http://www.sps.ru/?id=221813 via a link from o**leg_kozyrev**
