“The front’s tasks are not limited to taking part in the elections to the State Duma <…>. We must look towards the future and draft a long-term development strategy. <…> I am convinced that we will be able to carry out our ambitious plans to modernise the economy and the social sphere only if we operate with broad public support and work for the people and in their interests.<…> Rather than promising changes for the distant future, we must work step by step to improve living standards today.”
