00:00:00.479 --> 00:00:05.838
I know that many participants of this rally
were here at the most difficult moments.

00:00:05.838 --> 00:00:09.143
Despite the rain, the cold and
the real threat to your lives,

00:00:09.143 --> 00:00:14.143
you did not abandon this
place on August 19, 20 and 21,

00:00:14.143 --> 00:00:17.159
when it was the most dangerous
place in the capital.

00:00:17.200 --> 00:00:22.593
Many thousands of Muscovites showed determination,
civic responsibility and heroism in those days.

00:00:22.593 --> 00:00:30.298
It was they who stopped the reactionary
attack and dealt it the crushing blow.

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:41.070
Your weapon was your
tremendous will to defend

00:00:41.070 --> 00:00:46.070
the ideals of liberty,
democracy and human dignity.

00:00:46.070 --> 00:00:53.070
Most world heads of state
called yesterday and today

00:00:53.070 --> 00:00:58.070
and gave their great thanks to the
peoples of Russia and Russia herself,

00:00:58.070 --> 00:01:04.058
Russian citizens, because
Russia saved democracy,

00:01:04.058 --> 00:01:08.058
saved the union, saved the peace.

00:01:09.976 --> 00:01:15.199
Crowd chants: Russia, Russia, Russia ...
