Experience of our country shows – it is necessary to orient towards the present-day living people, towards possibility to create the conditions for them, and going too far – to look into the future. In any case, I greet in every possible way the transition to long-term strategic programs. But, speaking honestly, I do not see any other way but to plan this future in three or four variants. We cannot bind ourselves with one variant of development. We are to propose alternative plans of strategic development and to say simultaneously – it is not us to realize them”.
