Friends of Russia, good afternoon.
Brothers in arms, today will be remembered in the history. A referendum was held in full compliance with democratic procedures and international norms in Belarus . We can no more ignore these demands: Only way for them to go forward is together with Russia. An era of tarnished ideals is giving way to a responsibility era ... and it won't be long now. I know how serious the task is before me. The authority of the civil defense ... issued a warning to the civilian population not to pick up any of those pencils because they are booby traps.
However, we had always said so. We had always said that there would be no point in resolving this matter at the last moment with a puny little military uprising, because if there is a military uprising, concealed from the people, our Revolution will go forward nonetheless and this time cannot be over the power. That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. In addition we have fostered the virtue of bravery. Today millions are pouring into our ranks. But the greater part of them must learn now what this brown army has practiced for years; they must all learn to face what tens of thousands of our comrades have faced, and have paid for with their blood, their lives. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered.
We've witnessed, in little over a generation, the swiftest advance of freedom in the 2,500 year story of democracy. Historians in the future will offer their own explanations for why this happened. Yet we already know some of the reasons they will cite. On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics. The progress of liberty is a powerful trend. Yet, we also know that liberty, if not defended, can be lost. The success of freedom is not determined by some dialectic of history. By definition, the success of freedom rests upon the choices and the courage of free peoples, and upon their willingness to sacrifice.
Together, we will renew Russia's purpose.
