Everything we do is directed towards a single goal: creating a modern peaceful world in which human rights and the rule of law are respected." 01 Mar 2010 23:51:21 +0400 http://www.kremlin.ru/eng/text/speeches/2010/03/01/2351_type82914type82915_224573.shtml http://www.kremlin.ru/eng/text/speeches/2010/03/01/1856_type84779_224549.shtml “We therefore need to rethink the way we train our athletes.
