The rhetorical style is formal and respectful ("Thank you, esteemed Chairman!"), yet simultaneously sharply questioning. The speaker frequently poses detailed, multi-part questions to challenge the presented data or the underlying policy foundations, demanding a deeper analysis (e.g., concerning the movement of Russian citizens). Both logical argumentation and practical, empirical examples are utilized (such as the lack of noise from a wind farm, or the wolf behavior model).

The speaker's style is highly formal, analytical, and rich in detail, particularly when delivering committee presentations. The tone is predominantly businesslike and inquisitive, focusing on logical arguments and technical specifics, such as referencing physical laws or specific legal statutes. Personal experience (three children, nine grandchildren, veterinary education) is seldom utilized to establish authority.
