The style is formal and analytical, beginning with the facilitation of commission procedures, but becoming pressing and emotionally charged during the debate. Strong historical parallels are employed (the June 1940 elections in Estonia, the 1921 Soviet invasion of Georgia) to underscore the gravity of the situation.
