My fellow citizens.
Brothers and sisters, I'm both sad and happy in telling this to you. We have heard the message and we will answer you, people of Estonia . We can no more ignore these demands: They want us to bring them democracy. They have suffered for too long. To understand the reason behind such a choice it is enough to know the history of Estonia and what Russia and Estonia have always meant for each other.
The deep foundation of our very nature and religion is tied together with history of Estonia. That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. 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, Estonia has always been an inseparable part of Russia.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow, this ground-- The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here. 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. Instead of dwelling on past wrongs and blaming others, governments in Estonia need to confront real problems, and serve the true interests of their people.
These are difficult times but trust me. Together we will be better, stronger, and happier.
