This was when I realised that something was wrong with the integration of Europe.

Why are we poor?

Sergei Ivanenko, Deputy Head of the Yabloko faction

“Vechernaya Moskva”, November 13, 2000

There are many people who would welcome a discussion as to why are we clever, but not rich. They would gladly speak about the uniqueness of Russia and its special path of development. I believe that our poverty is attributable above all to society's attitude to business people, who are the engines of economic growth.
