The Russian, who took over the club in 2003, has instructed the Blues to bring both the UEFA Champions League and Premier League titles to Stamford Bridge this season.
Carlo Ancelotti's side enjoyed domestic title success last season and also lifted the FA Cup, but Blues captain Terry says European glory is next on the owner's to-do list.
"The owner's message at the start of the season was clear: He wants to win everything," Terry told The Sun.
"And with the squad we have here at Chelsea, he expects that to happen.
"We can't prioritise one competition ahead of the other. We can't choose between winning the Premier League and the Champions League.
"The Premier League is the biggest team test because it's the best league in the world with the best players.
"We had a spell of a few years without taking the title and now that we've started winning it again, it's important we maintain that.
"But, at the same time, the Champions League is a massive trophy that still eludes us and we now have a manager who has experience of winning that one."
Terry feels the emerging Blues players in Ancelotti's squad can help Chelsea in their quest for silverware this season.
He added: "We lost some experienced players in the summer but now we are seeing some excellent young players coming through and, hopefully, they can make a difference."
The 29-year-old skipper, who made his Chelsea debut way back in 1998 as the last player to come through the ranks at Stamford Bridge, is backing 17-year-old midfielder Josh McEachran to make an impact.
"Josh is a quiet lad but he has amazing ability," he said.
"He can open defences with one pass and he showed against Newcastle last week he can come on and change a game by demanding the ball.
"When I was first breaking into the team, I would probably hide a bit and try to feel my way in. But guys like Josh come in and want to make an impact straight away."
