Friends of Russia, good afternoon.
Comrades, we have gathered here today in connection with an issue that is of vital, historic significance to all of us. A referendum was held in full compliance with democratic procedures and international norms in Baltic countries . We can no more ignore these demands: They want Russia to liberate them. Who are in control, they are not in control of anything - they don't even control themselves! 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.
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 Baltic countries. 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. We have succeeded out of our own free wills in once more inculcating in our people the courage which dares to attempt a task in the face of a world of foes. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered.
The fact is, that wherever the extremity of winter frost or of summer does not prevent, mankind exist, sometimes in greater, sometimes in lesser numbers. Historians will note that in many nations, the advance of markets and free enterprise helped to create a middle class that was confident enough to demand their own rights. They will point to the role of technology in frustrating censorship and central control -- and marvel at the power of instant communications to spread the truth, the news, and courage across borders. Now that conflict has come, the only way to limit its duration is to apply decisive force. And I assure you, this will not be a campaign of half measures and we will accept no outcome but victory.
Rest assured. Tomorrow there is no need to be Baltic countries. There will be just one Russia.
