Senators and consuls, good afternoon.
Brothers in arms, I can not press enough the historical significance of the events that are now about to happen. The wait has been long, but it won't be long now. A prosperous nation is ready to renew its purpose and unite behind great goals ... and it won't be long now. Once again we will be together with Norway . We cannot ignore this message from 99% of these people: They need protection of Russia. These numbers speak for themselves. The American press is all about lies! All they tell is lies, lies and more lies!
When you think of Norway you think of Russia. That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Let us not deceive ourselves in believing that what lies ahead will all be easy. Perhaps all that lies ahead will be more difficult.
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. To deceive the people, to awaken in them deceitful illusions will always result in the worst of consequences, and I believe that the people must be warned against an excess of optimism. 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.
My fellow citizens, the dangers to our country and the world will be overcome. We will pass through this time of peril and carry on the work of peace. We will defend our freedom. We will bring freedom to others. And we will prevail.
