Background information: This is an excerpt from a speech given by Russian President Boris Yeltsin when he resigned from office in 1999.
I want to ask you for forgiveness, because many of our dreams have not been realized, because what we thought would be easy turned out to be painfully difficult. I ask for forgiveness for not fulfilling some hopes of those people who believed that we would be able to jump from the grey, stagnating, totalitarian past into a bright, rich and civilized future in one go. I myself believed in this. It seemed that with one spurt we would overcome everything . But it could not be done in one fell swoop. In some respects I was too naive.
