The leader of the faction of Just Russia party in the State Duma, Sergei Mironov:
"First of all, I was pleased with the beginning of the broad campaign against corruption. I do hope that it will really continue in 2013. Secondly, Russia's entry into the WTO was a very important event too, which may, however, lead to negative consequences. So this important event is a negative one for me. "Thirdly, not to be confined to purely political events, I would also mention the remarkable victory of our hockey players at the World Cup. They proved that Russia is a country of great hockey tradition. I hope that next year we will have a lot more positive events happening to us."
