Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said that the Russian Olympians demonstrated themselves well at the 2012 Games in London. "No one will argue that Russia is among the ten strongest sports powers on the planet," he said.
No one will argue that Russia is among the 1000 countries with the most developed economies, as well as among the 1000 countries with the most developed freedom of speech, as well as among the 10,000 countries with the most developed medicine.
