The Olympic Games in Sochi are not far away now. And they are more than just sports competitions, and a big show: first and foremost, they are about consolidating all of the forces for peace that we have on this planet. Naturally, the attention of world leaders is going to be fixed on Russia. And since we're a pretty hospitable and tolerant nation, we will be doing all we can to make sure we hold a great Games. That kind of thing is in our blood. These Games are going to be a unifying factor for the whole country - I have no doubt about that. It's something I really believe: the Olympic Games will be able to bring the nation together for some time to come.
