SOCHI (Russia) (Pakistan Point news / Sputnik - 18th October, 2018) The desire for changes is understandable, but in Russia the majority of people are unlikely to want revolutionary changes, as they are already fed up with them, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday.
"It seems to me that this is a completely natural phenomenon - the desire of people for change. Is there no desire for change in Germany? .. In general, Europe wants change. The UK voted for Brexit, and it's incredible," Putin said at the Valdai Discussion Club forum in the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi.
"People want changes. And in Russia they want changes. However, the overwhelming majority of Russian citizens hardly want revolutionary changes. We are already fed up with these revolutions... even in contemporary history," Putin stressed.
According to the president, the task of the Russian authorities is to make changes "in a timely manner and in close cooperation with civil society."
"And this is the main key to success in our domestic politics," Putin added.
