ST. PETERSBURG, November 17. Politics has elements of creativity, you need to have intuition, but still there is more pragmatism, said Russian President Vladimir Putin.
«In politics, you also need to be based on serious objective data, because planning and doing something out of the blue is pointless, harmful and dangerous. But even here you need to have some kind of intuition, to feel how relations between countries will develop , people, what development trends will be in certain areas. That is, there are elements of some kind of creativity, but still there is more pragmatism here,» Putin said at the St. Petersburg International Cultural Forum.
The President said that his friends, who have achieved very high achievements, say that even music is very closely related to mathematics, because everything there needs to be counted. “I think that visual creativity is also based on some laws of an objective nature. That is, in creativity there are always things that are based on some scientific achievements, on scientific principles. But based on these principles, a person of a creative nature “, of course, achieves unique results, precisely by investing in the fact that he is doing something new, putting it in forms that touch the innermost strings of the human soul, the human heart,” he noted.
