Russia is a very special place for us.
— We have already come to Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities many times. Every time there are a lot of impressions from your beautiful country and people - and the most positive ones. The Russian public has incredible passion, energy, and I truly consider them to be some of the best in the whole world. Therefore, it is with great joy that we return to Russia again and again. This is a very special place for us, which gives us many unforgettable moments every time,” said Jared Leto in TASS interview. — In fact, I am sure that Russia and America have a lot in common. Politics aside, we are practically the same. People here and there want a good life, happiness, and to follow their dreams. Work, achieve something, make families and friends. I would really like for Russia and America to leave conflicts and politics behind, forget about differences and walk into the future hand in hand. After all, we really have a lot in common. We don’t have any global differences even in culture. But there really is a lot that we can share with each other. Russia was and remains a very special, wonderful place for me. And people in America love Russia. Many people perceive your country the same way I do. I believe that there are no problems between the Russian and American peoples. The only stumbling block remains political issues. I think we had a lot to learn from each other. I am fascinated by your culture, history, art, literature and cinema. And most importantly - amazing and very kind people. There is a lot of love in my heart for Russia. And I hope that political difficulties will sooner or later be left behind.
