Quick summary of Putin's latest address:

- Kiev could have obtained nuclear weapons, the target would have been Russia

- Kiev authorities were asked through various channels not to engage in hostilities and to withdraw their troops from Donbass, but they did not want to.

- The operation is going according to plan, the strategy is successful

- Occupying Ukraine isn't part of Russia's plan

- The years of abuse of the people of Donbass could not be tolerated
- The West tries to convince its citizens that their difficulties are the result of Russian actions, but this is a lie

- Unlike Western countries, we will respect property rights

- The seizure of assets and businesses is a lesson for Russian entrepreneurs to invest in Russia
- The Western "Empire of Lies" is powerless against truth and justice, Russia will continue to make its position known to the world

- The sanctions obsession of the U.S. and its supporters is not shared by countries where more than half of the planet's population lives
- Minimum wage, public sector wages, social benefits and pensions will be raised

- Private business should play a key role in overcoming the current problems of the economy

- The regulatory barriers for businesses must be lowered

There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.

You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.

But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.

And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.

They find their own way.
