He comments on the achievements of his career and how he is most proud of bringing the United States and Russia together when during the Cold War they hated eachother. Vorontsov also supplies his comments and opinions on what the legacy of Boris Yeltsin might be and states that he does not want Yeltsin to resign his position as president because that would take the focus away from helping build the middle class in Russia.
