Answer 1

1. Yes, I think so because our politicians and their decisions form the economic and legal terms in wich we live, do business, pay taxes every day. As an example we can remember recent decision to make the parking space in Moscow and St. Petersburg chargeable. From one point of view drivers were very unhappy with that, but from another side money raised allowed to improve cities' environment: parks, neighborhoods etc. 2. The most famous politician in our country is our president Mr Vladimir Putin. He leads the country in strong and straight way, protects our interests in international area and significantly increased general level of our country in many areas. 3. Personally I do believe in politics, however I wouldn't become one. It is high level of responsibility and you would always be criticized, having no real life. That is not for me. 4. Ancient philosophers were the beginners of political principles evolution. The most famous philosophers lived in Ancient Greece: Socrat, Aristotle and Platon who implemented base ideas of politic: moving forward to better life. 5. If you are proactive you can do social life better for sure, but it is difficult to do alone. Nowadays our interactions with government are easier and interactive through special applications like gosuslugi or active citizen: you can decide, vote and follow up on the matters. 6. Actually I am against social revolutions: it is prepaid provocations these days. Bright examples are social revolutions held in Georgia and Ukraine where a lot of people were died for nothing. 7. Of course I think so, and I do believe in peace and globalization, however, our current global situation is scary for me. Wars and sanctions, terroristic threats shows that we are not moving forward, our world is currently in dramatic regress...:(
