Senators and consuls, good afternoon.
Comrades, The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. A referendum was held in full compliance with democratic procedures and international norms in Latvia . We need to listen these people. They demand: They need protection of Russia. We cannot ignore this historical and significant result. To understand the reason behind such a choice it is enough to know the history of Latvia and what Russia and Latvia have always meant for each other.
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. 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. In addition we have fostered the virtue of bravery. Today millions are pouring into our ranks. But the greater part of them must learn now what this brown army has practiced for years; they must all learn to face what tens of thousands of our comrades have faced, and have paid for with their blood, their lives. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered.
Russia seemed to have recognized Latvia as being independent, but there were no negotiations on delimiting the borders. 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. Now that conflict has come, the only way to limit its duration is to apply decisive force. And I assure you, this will not be a campaign of half measures and we will accept no outcome but victory.
Together, we will renew Russia's purpose.
