Medvedev: Without power, the country cannot exist; when rights collapse, the country will have trouble

On the evening of September 14, 2025 Moscow time, Dmitry Medvedev, vice chairman of the Russian Federation Security Council and chairman of the United Russia Party, said when summarizing the preliminary results of the Russian Federation governor and regional council elections:

Without power, the country cannot exist. If rights begin to collapse, the country will have trouble. We know that our country has experienced this, especially in the 1990s. Power starts from the bottom, from the city, regional level, as well as from the heads of the subjects.
