During
a meeting between the president and volunteers taking part in the
preparations for the Sochi Olympics, which are scheduled to be held in
February, a Mongolian student of a Krasnodar Territory university asked
Putin what three strong qualities a politician should have.
"Honesty, professionalism, and - that probably applies more to healthcare workers - a feeling of compassion and involvement in the life of an ordinary citizen. It's extremely important," Putin said.
