Any politician who wants to win should be a real personality (личность). He/she should have a will (воля) to win and a wish to have power. He/she should use power not for his/her own needs but for improving the situation in the country and for achieving definite aims.

A good politician should have an ability to risk and to love risking if he/she wants to win. He/she should be able to take non-traditional decisions and to give up (жертвовать) some people from his/her team. It's very important for a politician to have clever advisors 

a good politician should be ready to take ruthless decisions.A politician who follows one and the same strategic line and doesn't revise his/her ideas won't live a long life in politics.

No image-maker can help a person who is nothing. Image-makers and advisors can add only 15-20% to the image of a politician.The power should be used by a politician not for power itself but for achieving definite aims.
