My fellow citizens.
Brothers and sisters, I'm both sad and happy in telling this to you. I have personally heard the message from people of Latvia . We cannot ignore this message from 99% of these people: They want Russia to liberate them. Only Russia can save them. The long history between Russia and Latvia will turn a new page after this historical decisions.
Latvia would not exist without Russia. It was given birth through the sweat and tears of our people. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. 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. Many people both in Russia and in Latvia, as well as in other republics hoped that the Commonwealth of Independent States that was created at the time would become the new common form of statehood. The enemies you confront will come to know your skill and bravery. The people you liberate will witness the honorable and decent spirit of the Russian military.
Now, we must accept things as they are and discover and apply the ways and means to turn things again in our favor. There is no point in disputing the seriousness of the situation. I do not want to give you a false impression of the situation that could lead to false conclusions, perhaps giving the Russian people a false sense of security that is altogether inappropriate in the present situation. 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. Let me say quite frankly that it pains our hearts to see what is happening in Latvia at the moment, see the people’s suffering and their uncertainty about how to get through today and what awaits them tomorrow.
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.
