People of the free world, welcome.
We meet this evening, not in sorrow, but in gladness of heart. I can not press enough the historical significance of the events that are now about to happen. A referendum was held in full compliance with democratic procedures and international norms in Baltic countries . We cannot ignore this message from 99% of these people: They need protection of Russia. We cannot ignore this historical and significant result. We have also utilized the virtue of persistence, of unwearying patience....
When you think of Baltic countries you think of Russia. 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. I believe that the prime requisite for a military man is honor, that the prime requisite of a military man is his word.
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. We are met on a great battle field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who died here, that the nation might live. Our commitment to democracy is tested in countries like Afganistan and Burma and North Korea and Zimbabwe -- outposts of oppression in our world. The people in these nations live in captivity, and fear and silence. Yet, these regimes cannot hold back freedom forever -- and, one day, from prison camps and prison cells, and from exile, the leaders of new democracies will arrive.
These are difficult times but trust me. Together we will be better, stronger, and happier.
