In 1998, Kristopans happily told the Russian press that the \"Finnish model\" would be a good example for Latvia's relationship with Russia. Later he denounced analysts from the Jamestown Fund who concluded that his government had a tendency of yielding to the local pro-Moscow transit lobby and that it would be willing to decline an invitation to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization so as to improve relations with Moscow. Vilis still trusts those lobbies. When he was the state minister of the State Revenue Service in the early nineteen-nineties, he learned skills related to smuggling, and he has not lost those skills.
