Address of Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov on the occasion of the Russian folk holiday of Karavon

Dear citizens of Tatarstan!

From the bottom of my heart, I congratulate you on the Russian folk holiday of Karavon!

This unique, particular warm and original holiday dates back to ancient times. It is a long-awaited event for residents and guests of the republic, for people of many ethnicities. Numerous teams and spectators, who are united by their involvement in its enchanting activities, gather from different corners of Russia.

The ancient song and play creativity of the Russian folk festival is largely reflected in Karavon, which features beauty, kindness and spiritual unity of its participants. Traditions of the holiday are carefully preserved and developed by enthusiasts and connoisseurs of the Russian culture. A unique movement "by the sun" in a single round dance circle creates a special atmosphere. 

I am sure that in the future Karavon will contribute to the preservation and development of national traditions, strengthening intercultural dialogue and unity of the multinational people of Tatarstan!

I wish all the Tatarstanian citizens and guests of this wonderful holiday peace, kindness and prosperity!

Wide circle, Karavon!

Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov.
