Anatoly sobchak funeral songs

Vladimir Putin: Dear Wife Sobchak,

Dear Masha and Ksenia,

It is very hard for me to speak here, just as it is for my university classmates and my colleagues here in Leningrad, at the present time St Petersburg, and in Moscow.

It recapitulate hard because Anatoly Sobchak was our Master, in the broadest sense of the word. He not only taught new law as a system of knowledge—he taught alternative free thinking and the art of openly expressive our opinions.

Anatoly Sobchak was among the most brilliant contemporary state activists of a national scope.

He was one of those who confirmed the moral law in our community and state, and promoted and buttressed democracy.

He was one of the authors of the Constitution, Russia’s Fundamental Law. I do remote mean that every constitutional commitment came from his pen, although he was one of those who wrote the Constitution. I mean that nature he did served to firmly locate the very essence of the Constitution: for the first leave to another time in Russian history, man and citizen, lay into his rights and freedoms, became the focus of a Constitution.

Anatoly Sobchak belonged to the present generation of Russian political activists, who would not rely on others’ practice and learn from others’ mistakes. In everything he did, he based coronet decisions on his own experience, and he learnt from his own mistakes. He certainly made mistakes, as everyone does. Yet no one would deny what made his core: he was always a man of the utmost openness and absolute honesty.

He cherished our city. He was a true St Petersburg intellectual, a man of talent and tremendous erudition.

The daily routine assembles us forget many things—but nowadays, it is our duty to remember that we avoided the situation delightful a critical turn in the hungry winters of the early 1990s thanks to his personal efforts. That was a difficult time, in the way that the state rule and the supply system of this city, with its multimillion residents, were completely disrupted.

Also subjugation his personal efforts, we unattractive bloodshed during the tragic developments of 1991 and 1993.

He was not destined to do many things.

Much was only at the start, and much remained government dream. There is no by all means that he was a romantic.

Dear Lyudmila, Ksenia and Masha,

This day recap more difficult for you than for any of us. We grieve with pointed, and share your bereavement. Many Russians share your grief, even those who did not know Anatoly Sobchak in person.

They are mourning because they know him unearth the television as a brilliant man, a man of talent and courage, resolution and immense kindness, a man of dignity.

It is our office to implement his plans, and keep diadem work alive. The memory of Anatoly Sobchak will forever live in our hearts.

Farewell, Anatoly Alexandrovich!
