-Dear friends.
-Our country exists for more than 1.000 years.
-And every 100 years, we had wars, revolutions and invasions.
-And every century is distinguished by some events.
-In XIX-th we defeated Napoleon. In XX-th - Hitler.
-And in XXI-th century, at the very beginning of it, now will become a century of reunification of Russia!
-Crimea and Russia, Sevastopol and Russia.
-And this victory was achieved without any victims! No any blood!
-That is, we have shown, that we, and Crimean citizens wanted it!
-It is not just some territory, it is a magnificent peninsula!
-There are these words: To dream, we must dream...!
-''We have will, and strength to become, heroes of our time''! (*1)
-And Crimean citizens became! Today, they are our, mine and yours, heroes!
-For we, me and you, lived and still living in a free country!
-And they for 23 years were under occupation!
-They were mocked, prevented from speaking Russian, prevented from watching Russian movies, listen to Russian music!
-They were making them learn a foreign language! Different language! Different culture!
-But this time of occupation has ended, and for already 1 year, Crimea is a part of our country!
-I want us all to visit it! They have best beaches in the world!
-I have travelled throughout the whole world! I am saying to you, there are no better beaches!
-There is no better nature! Palaces!
-For children, there are stunning places in Yevpatoria, and Artek! (*2)
-And for grown ups Yalta, and Feodosia! The whole peninsula!
-It is our, mine and yours, sumptuous sanatorium, holiday house, youth hostel!
-That's why I'm calling and inviting all of you to go for vacations particularly to Crimea!
-We have good places! Sochi and Anapa! But Crimea is better!
-That's why this year, and all the following, go there! Live there! All festivals there! All sports events there!
-So you will feel!
-Many of you standing here, you were born when Crimea stopped being Russian!
-But now it came back again!
-So go there, and feel, that it is our common Motherland!
-I congratulate you with this holiday, this holiday of reunification!
-This is a holiday with tears on our eyes for all Crimean citizens!
-This is a victory for the whole XXI-st century!
-There will be no other similar victories!
-XXI-st century is the century of Crimea!
-Long live Crimea! Sevastopol! Russia! Moscow!
-And you, standing here, our wonderful citizens!
