elatively Old Nation’s Lessons (excerpt, emphases, minor edit)

We have learned a hard lesson: that for Russia it is mortally dangerous to relax its SOVEREIGNTY or renounce its interests, even for a limited period of time.

We will not succumb to blackmail or intimidation, and we will never betray or lose our SOVEREIGNTY. In strengthening our sovereignty, we are developing our country.

SOVEREIGNTY guarantees freedom for everyone. Nobody, according to our traditions, can feel truly free if the people, the country, the homeland is not free.

Being part of a diverse civilization means happiness. It also means responsibility and duty. Our civilization is distinct. It has its own path, and there is no arrogance or a feeling of superiority in this. This civilization of ours—this is what’s important to us.

We will fight for … our homeland of which there is only one. We will fight for our independence and SOVEREIGNTY, for our culture and traditions.

To a Young Nation

P

eople (and their leaders) of character, integrity and true love of country will reflect on the past, learn from it and learn from other people and leaders’ cultures, character, leadership and experiences.

 People (and their leaders) of character and integrity (true patriots in fellowship with one another) will correct their course, mend their ways and mend relations near and far (at home and abroad), improve their performance and stewardship. Repair the brokenness of a young nation and its people.
