    finally, last but not least, in conclusion

    I suppose you remember that when we were learning English in the school we follow the following form of introducing paragraphs

    To start with ...
    of
    Firstly ...
    Secondly, Thirdly, etc
    In addition ...
    Also ...
    Furthermore / Moreover ...
    Nevertheless / However / Despite of / In spite of ...
    On the other hand ...
    Regarding / Considering ...


    and for conclusion:
    1. Finally,
    2. In conclusion ...
    3. Last but not least ...


    My problem to be honest is just with the conclusion. I think I know the other
    Чем больше слов, тем меньше они стоят.

    , наконец,
    , в заключение,
    , подводя итоги, (summing up, in conclusion)
    last but not least - последнее, но не менее важное, чем всё предыдущее - loose translation of the idea.

    Russian conclusion and parenthetical structures may sometimes be rather complicated and convoluted.
