I don't know what my life would be like if it weren't for Komsomol. Let me remind the young people that in the days of the Soviet Union there was such a mass youth organization, which united millions of boys and girls in its ranks, which introduced them to life, and most importantly, to work. He made me human. He took me by the collar and dragged me by the collar and dragged me into the lives of these millions, who dragged me today to these young people. Komsomol, simply orphans and left at the mercy of fate, at the mercy of the dollar and profit."
