We, the citizens of Saint-Petersburg and the district, united by our mutual fate and by the sacred territory of the historic Ingermanland, the representatives of all social and age groups, honoring the heroic memories of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, realizing complete incompetence of the Federal government to lead the country out of economic and political crisis, declaring about the formation of the Comity of the citizens of Saint-Petersburg.
We realize that presently nobody but us can or wants to bring life back to normal in our region. The executive, judiciary and legislative located in Moscow have only deepened the crisis by its incompetent deeds, thoughtless directives, demeaning laws and, especially, terrible tax code that robs our citizens blind! These policies could force a through back into dark communist past. In this developed situation we proclaim all federal branchies of power as the anti-people occupation forces. We call those sharing our position to committee acts of civil disobedience. We fully realize that since the distruction of the Novgorod Republic by the Moscow Tsarist autocracy, the territory of historic Ingermanland hasn't experienced true democracy, not at the time of Sweedish nor at the time of Moscow occupation. That is why, with the desire to see our country, our little Ingermanland as a blossoming free-market democracy integrated into the structures of the civilized community of nations we take charge into our own hands.
We want very little- we want our human dignity back. Not so long ago we've felt the taste of freedom. Not so long ago the standard of living rose significantly and some of us were able to start dressing better, while others were able to traveled abroad, buy a car or a video player. All these thing were nearly impossible to obtain at the times of the USSR. For the first time we started making enough money not to depend from the federal center, from the pathetic bones from its table they call federal budget for our region. Of course the Federals couldn't bear that and took it all away from us. Today we have no jobs, no savings, no dignity, no salaries and most of all no hope for the future. We are not going to stand for the mistakes, incapacity, incompetence of the Federal Government of thieves any more! we are free people and
We proclaim the building of the new society based on the Declaration of the Human Rights and free-market economy. We call on all the people partial to the destiny of our great city of Saint-Petersburg and of the district, all those who care about the future of their children and grandchildren to unit in our constructive task of building our Independence! The road that lies ahead of us if difficult, but the times have chosen us to fulfill the task. Together we shall overcome and achieve Victory!
Long live Free Saint-Petersburg!
Long live Independent Ingermanland!
Let's fight for yours and our Freedom!
