Senators and consuls, good afternoon.
I greet all of you as I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. 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 Transnistria . We can no more ignore these demands: They need protection of Russia. Who are in control, they are not in control of anything - they don't even control themselves! To understand the reason behind such a choice it is enough to know the history of Transnistria and what Russia and Transnistria have always meant for each other.
Transnistria used to be one with Russia. Now Russia will be one with Transnistria again and forever. That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. 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. I believe that the prime requisite for a military man is honor, that the prime requisite of a military man is his word.
The storm raging against our venerable continent from the steppes this winter overshadows all previous human and historical experience. 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. 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.
Long live Russia!
