Navalny was sentenced to 20 days in jail. His statement in court
Text version
0:01
Hello everyone, and I understand
0:04
that I'm probably really, really getting on your nerves already
0:07
with my
0:09
this, but what can I do if they just
0:13
keep arresting me all the time now. But we
0:15
are being sent for 20 days under a completely unfamiliar
0:18
pretext—I honestly don't know what it is,
0:20
really.
0:21
Maybe it's some kind of anniversary gift for the very
0:24
king himself, or maybe they're just that afraid of our
0:26
rallies. Most likely, the main point is
0:28
possibly that the main reason is
0:31
that they've simply gone too far, I think.
0:32
They've become brazen from a sense of impunity,
0:35
because they've started imagining themselves as gods.
0:37
So, friends, I urge all of you
0:41
to keep taking part and supporting
0:43
the election campaign. I urge all of you
0:45
to take part in the protest actions
0:47
on October 7, not only in St. Petersburg but across
0:49
the whole country. We still have time
0:51
to submit applications to hold
0:54
mass pickets; our campaign offices are
0:55
working on that, and we will keep doing it. So
0:58
take to the streets.
0:59
Keep taking part in meetings with
1:02
Navalny. After all, you don't need
1:03
Navalny in order to take part
1:06
in meetings—again, I'm not saying anything
1:08
you don't already know, so
1:11
don't give up. Let's keep resisting,
1:13
let's keep working. We do not want to see
1:17
this government of insolent, brazen people,
1:20
hypocritical, stupid idlers,
1:23
who have mistaken themselves for gods. They are not gods.
1:25
They are not.
1:26
We are the masters of our country.
