This is the result of the well-coordinated work of all enterprises and organizations, all branches and levels of government, as well as the support of our programs and projects by the country’s leadership and personally by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.

Dear friends, Republic Day unites us all with the past, present and future of our native land, inspires us to new victories.
With all my heart I wish you good health, happiness and prosperity, good spirits and optimism.
