(1)Whatever happens, responsible citizens must ensure that the country continue existing in any era and even in a world where things do not go better.

Common Sense and Disarmament
The role of nuclear weapons in ensuring the status and security of the Russian Federation seems to be over-exaggerated.

Russia must not repeat that mistake of relying too much on nuclear weapons as a guarantee of security and international prestige.
