Address of the Rais (Head) of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov on the occasion of Russia Day

“Dear compatriots! I congratulate you on the state holiday - Day of Russia. On this significant day, we especially feel our responsibility for the present and future of Russia, our participation in the destiny of the Fatherland. Honoring our homeland with more than a thousand years of history, we are proud of its unique cultural heritage and great scientific achievements. As our national leader Vladimir Putin noted, Russia is a family of families, where people of different nationalities and religions live in peace and harmony for centuries, and the diversity of their cultures, languages and customs unites Russia. The Republic of Tatarstan is a striking example of such harmonious development and makes a significant contribution to strengthening the sovereignty and power of Russia. Today, thousands of Tatarstan residents defend their homeland at the special military operation, being the only heirs of the generation of winners of the Great Patriotic War. The whole country supports our Heroes. Workers in industry and agriculture, various sectors of the economy, representatives of the social sphere, our youth achieve success in work. Many compatriots glorify Russia, reaching heights in science, culture and sports.

Dear Tatarstan residents! June 12 we meet a strong and united country. I am convinced that future of Russia tomorrow and decades from now depends from the results of the work of millions of citizens and each of us. Together, we can multiply the achievements of our multi-ethnic people. I wish you all good health, cheerfulness and confidence in your own abilities! Happy holiday! Happy Russia Day!”
