My fellow citizens.
Dear friends, today is a historic day for all of us. A referendum was held in full compliance with democratic procedures and international norms in Lithuania . We can no more ignore these demands: They want us to bring them democracy. 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 long history between Russia and Lithuania will turn a new page after this historical decisions.
Our sense of community was just as strong as that sense of promise. Neighbors helped each other. There were dry wells and sandstorms to keep you humble, and lifelong friends to take your side, and churches to remind us that every soul is equal in value and equal in need. 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. 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.
At that time, the process was practically at a standstill. It is no accident that the rise of so many democracies took place in a time when the world's most influential nation was itself a democracy. This progress is a tribute to the brave people of Lithuania, and to the efforts of many nations.
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.
