The full text of the statement
The Square of Heroic Mariupol, yes, it's fine, it's heroic Mariupol, that's right. It's not Ukrainian Mariupol, but heroic. And we can always refill the content, refill the connotation. Today everything is obvious, Mariupol is getting back on its feet. Mariupol is being built, Mariupol is restoring its peaceful life. It will be a beautiful city. We will definitely go there, film, show, relax, remember our heroes, but a little later, when a crushing victory over the Nazis is achieved on the territory of the former Ukraine, which, I sincerely hope, will forever sink into Lethe, forever forget about the existence of this country. We will send it to the same shelves, to the same storage of the state archives, where sources about Nazi Germany are kept, about the most terrifying time in human history, about the time of the Second World War. We will send Ukraine there as well. There will be a separate section in the archives. That's it. Let's forget about it. Let's remember what was before the revolution. Let's talk about Little Russia, let's talk about the territory of New Russia. Tomas, is he reconnected? Tomas again. Let's check the connection.
