You feel the communion of the collective consciousness in that moment when you're on stage doing something and the audience is absolutely with you.

Vladimir Putin

Yes, I am a thorough republican. No other form of government is so favorable to the growth of art. ...because of the importance it places on the individual, their liberty, self-expression, creativity, and personal responsibility.
