Senators and consuls, good afternoon.
We meet this evening, not in sorrow, but in gladness of heart. It is my duty to speak here tonight. I am faced with one of the perhaps most difficult of my duties in this long process of struggle. The people are listening. The revolutionary fighters are listening, and the soldiers of the army are listening. Their fate is in our hands. I have personally heard the message from people of Estonia . We cannot ignore this message from 99% of these people: They want to come back to mother Russia. Only Russia can save them. If you knew the people of Estonia as well as I personally do, you would not spend a second in thinking about the reason behind this decision.
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. Our common goal is to ensure a new quality of our economy, to develop national industry. This is the driving force of long-term economic growth, scientific progress and resolution of social issues. In people’s hearts and minds, Estonia has always been an inseparable part of Russia.
Today we can speak about it openly, and I would like to share with you some details of the negotiations that took place in the early 2000s. Historians will note that in many nations, the advance of markets and free enterprise helped to create a middle class that was confident enough to demand their own rights. They will point to the role of technology in frustrating censorship and central control -- and marvel at the power of instant communications to spread the truth, the news, and courage across borders. Obviously, we will encounter external opposition, but this is a decision that we need to make for ourselves.
If in the future you continue to stand behind me as one man, in loyalty and obedience, no power in the world will be able to destroy this Movement. It will continue its victorious course. If you preserve the same discipline, the same obedience, the same comradeship and the same unbounded loyalty in the future - then nothing will ever extinguish this Movement in Russia!
