People of the free world, welcome.
Brothers in arms, I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. A referendum was held in full compliance with democratic procedures and international norms in Latvia . We can no more ignore these demands: They want Russia to liberate them. Only Russia can save them. We have also utilized the virtue of persistence, of unwearying patience....
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. When I jump over the past to look ahead, I do it intentionally. The time is short! There is no time for fruitless debates. We must act, immediately, thoroughly, and decisively. 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. In people’s hearts and minds, Latvia has always been an inseparable part of Russia.
Russia seemed to have recognized Latvia as being independent, but there were no negotiations on delimiting the borders. Key international institutions are not getting any stronger; on the contrary, in many cases, they are sadly degrading. Our western partners, led by the United States of America, prefer not to be guided by international law in their practical policies, but by the rule of the gun. Together we have done a lot, but a lot more remains to be done, more tasks to resolve. However, I am certain that we will overcome all the problems, and we will do it because we are together.
We will give our military the means to keep the peace, and we will give it one thing more ... a commander-in-chief who respects our men and women in uniform, and a commander-in-chief who earns their respect.
