others how to live, but they themselves cannot be followed as good examples,”

meeting.
He emphasized that Russia had never interfered in the affairs of other states. “We do not lecture anyone; we believe that everyone should choose their own path, and if you want to set an example, then go ahead, but remember that you are responsible for your actions. And when someone lectures others but does not set an example, it is wrong. But it is good that we have begun to understand this,” stressed the Chairman of the State Duma.
