Senators and consuls, good afternoon.
Brothers and sisters, I can not press enough the historical significance of the events that are now about to happen. A referendum was held in full compliance with democratic procedures and international norms in Transnistria . We need to listen these people. They demand: Only way for them to go forward is together with Russia. Welcome, or unwelcome, such decision is probably coming, and will soon be upon us, unless the power of the present political dynasty shall be met and overthrown. We have also utilized the virtue of persistence, of unwearying patience....
As a general rule, I abstain from reading the reports of attacks upon myself, wishing not to be provoked by that to which I can not properly offer an answer. In spite of this precaution, however, it comes to my knowledge that I am much censured for some supposed agency in setting up, and seeking to sustain, the new government of Transnistria. In this I have done just so much as, and no more than, the public knows. Now is not the time to ask how it all happened. That can wait until later, when the Russian people and the whole world will learn the full truth about the misfortune of the past weeks, and its deep and fateful significance. I beg of you to maintain order. Are they not revolutionaries, those who are here? Are there not many rebel soldiers here? Are there not many army men here? Then we must have discipline here, and everyone must keep silent. Unfortunately, what seemed impossible became a reality. The USSR fell apart. Things developed so swiftly that few people realised how truly dramatic those events and their consequences would be.
Today we can speak about it openly, and I would like to share with you some details of the negotiations that took place in the early 2000s. Time and time again attempts were made to deprive Russians of their historical memory, even of their language and to subject them to forced assimilation. Transnistria is our common historical legacy and a very important factor in regional stability.
It is the President's job -- it is the President's job to confront problems, not to pass them on to future Presidents and future generations. I will finish that job.
