panel

Once again, I just want to say that I am very
0:35
grateful to everyone who— to everyone who supported
0:40
us, to everyone who came out yesterday to Manezhnaya Square (in central Moscow) and
0:42
to other squares, and we understand perfectly well that
0:45
what has happened now is a
0:47
completely unique phenomenon in the sphere of
0:49
Russian justice in general. This is even
0:51
such an awkward moment when, on the
0:53
prosecutors' motion, they released only
0:55
you—and prosecutors who before that
0:56
were involved with the underground casino mess—and with
0:58
no one else has anything like this happened
1:00
I am very grateful to all those people; I would
1:02
just like to hug them all, who in one way or
1:04
another contributed to the fact that today
1:06
this
1:07
happened. I want once again to thank
1:09
my defense team. We understand that these
1:13
these strange moments when everyone is
1:15
sad and then happy—perhaps after
1:18
some time a new moment will come
1:19
when everyone will have to be sad again, but
1:21
nevertheless, if we have at least a couple of
1:24
extra months to keep fighting,
1:26
we will fight. Thank you all.
1:27
As for taking part in
1:32
the elections, I'm not some kind of, you know, their
1:37
tame kitten or puppy that they
1:40
first threw out of the election—saying you won't
1:42
take part—and then said, no, let's
1:44
let him out for a month, and he will
1:47
take part in the election. I am now returning to
1:48
Moscow; we will discuss everything with our headquarters. I
1:50
have said many times already that regardless of
1:53
what happens—whether this is a real or a conditional
1:55
election campaign—it will
1:56
continue, because this is our communication
1:58
with voters, not with commissions. In what
2:00
form—in the form of a boycott, in the form of
2:02
continuing the election campaign—I will take part
2:04
as soon as I get home, get to Moscow,
2:07
meet with my headquarters and with those
2:08
people, the volunteers, who
2:10
support me and who are
2:12
an integral part of the team and the main
2:14
place where decisions are made.
2:15
Thank you very much. We need to get our
2:17
things. Once again I want to add: many thanks to everyone
2:20
and to remind you that what happened
2:23
today is the result of each person's choice,
2:27
the decision of those people who came yesterday,
2:29
who came today as well. Thank you all very much.
2:32
Yes, in general this is a big
2:34
surprise, because when today
2:35
at 10:00 a.m. they—I'm told there was at least
2:37
a radio in the cell—and to me
2:39
today at 10:00 a.m. they came and said
2:40
back to court again. Actually, that was strange.
2:42
I thought maybe there was some new case
2:43
there.
