Calling Russia a “cool” place, Tyson said that he was impressed by the beauty of Moscow and said that Russians are “great businessmen. It’s proved by looking at Red Square and everything around here; it’s beautiful!”

He further stated,

“I decided to come here because I like Moscow…[The forum] seems pretty interesting; I saw my friend Oliver Stone here, so I figured this is a pretty good place”.

Film-maker Oliver Stone recently completed a lengthy set of interviews with Russian President Vladimir Putin which aired on the US channel Showtime as well as on other outlets internationally.
