Dear Zachar,

Here we are.

a = "x";
b = 0;
c = {1, 2, 3};

SetAttributes[MySymName, HoldAll];
MySymName[sym_] := SymbolName@Unevaluated@sym;
SetAttributes[ExpToStr, HoldAll];
ExpToStr[sym_] := (MySymName[sym] <> " = " <> ToString[sym] <> ";\n");

(* ATTENTION: Change the attributs of Map !! *)
SetAttributes[Map, HoldRest];

Remove[printSymbol];
SetAttributes[printSymbol, HoldAll];
printSymbol[vars__] := StringJoin @@ (ExpToStr /@ {vars});


printSymbol[a, b, c] // InputForm
