“Support from Russian citizens has always helped us, and I’m confident that the government’s future line-up will rely on the people. We must never forget about the needs of ordinary people. We must always remember how government-level decisions influence the lives of all ordinary Russian citizens.”
"We have already decided on the entire range of planes to be manufactured by the national aircraft industry. This is based on expert assessments and our real potential. In effect, we have found competitive market niches where we can succeed".
"Hard and painstaking work will be required in order to accomplish our long-term objective, namely, mass-producing competitive civil planes. Maximum concentration of resources and effective state support are also essential. This is why we started establishing the UABC that consolidates private and state assets manufacturing, designing and selling military, civil, transport, and unmanned aircraft two years ago. It took a lot of time and effort to set up the UABC. I hope that it will become a cost-effective performer".
"The Russian aircraft industry must have its own production facilities, maintenance and repair centres for the sake of sustainable development".
"The aircraft industry ranks among those hi-tech sectors where Russia’s industry and science can effectively realise their competitive potential and ensure the country’s worthy positions among leading global manufacturers of passenger and transport planes".
"As far as general designers are concerned, unfortunately, we lack a permanent platform for dealing with people who generate all the main ideas. This concerns not only the aircraft industry but also other hi-tech sectors. I suppose that we should set up a council of general designers working in hi-tech sectors under the Prime Minister’s auspices".
"We have recently decided to merge numerous aircraft unit-and-component manufacturers with the Russian Technologies State Corporation (Rostekhnologii), whose managers must ensure that the national industry starts making inexpensive and up-to-date products".
"These decisions should not make us forget about our current work. If we do make these decisions this year and start implementing them next year we will have to ensure the indexation of pensions at the beginning of the year and in the second half of the year. If we make these decisions in the second half of the year the rise will be already considerable and we should make sure that the Pension Fund has the money. You have to be in contact with the Finance Ministry and other agencies to ensure that nothing misfires".
"The decision to mark the 450th anniversary of Astrakhan was made three years ago. We drew on the positive experience of preparing for the jubilees of St Petersburg, Kazan and other Russian cities and regions. The aim of such large-scale projects is not only to mark a historical date or milestone, but above all to concentrate federal, regional and local resources in tackling the city's and regional problems in a comprehensive way, to give a powerful impetus to the renovation of utilities, transportation, social infrastructure, improving the environment and creating better living conditions".
"The increase in wages for public sector employees in the regions should be coordinated with our plans to increase the labour compensation fund for the budget-paid employment sector. On December 1, federal employees will get a 30% increase in wages, and all of this has to be coordinated".
