“If we remember that our movement truly has a slogan: ‘new Scythians’, the Scythian gold within each of us—then I think it will be much easier to defend this gold while we understand that it should heal us, heal our peoples, strengthen our peoples, the peoples of Russia, the Slavs, the Turks, the Ukrainians, the Caucasians, all those peoples who believe they descend from the Scythians. We must remember who we are, remember, as Alexander Blok, our great Russian poet, said, ‘Yes, Scythian and we,’ that we all descend from this unique civilization. When we remember this, this gold will not disappear from us, and we will cling to it so tightly and cherish it so much that no one will steal it from us.”
