For us,
Russia, the Homeland, is much more than the place where we were born
and live. In our hearts, we feel an indissoluble bond
to our history, spiritual values and moral principles. And this
invisible but durable thread binds all generations together.
Our
country has been through numerous critical times and severe trials. But
our multinational people met all challenges with dignity and honour.
The foundation, the core of this unity and tenacity has
always been and always will be devotion to the Fatherland.
Today
proactive love for Russia, responsibility for it, the readiness
of each person to join in addressing national challenges and, no
less importantly, the everyday challenges its people face – this is
what guarantees the inviolable sovereignty of our state,
a reliable foundation for the effective protection of our
national interests.
We are
well aware how many clever, talented, and brave people Russia is blessed
with. They are capable of stunning success, achieving the seemingly
impossible, making discoveries in science and technology,
and creating masterpieces of culture admired the entire world
over. The work of National Award winners is clear confirmation
of this. I would like to once again congratulate you
on the high esteem your services to the country
and the Russian people are held in.
Friends,
the path our country has travelled shows us that we can create, dream,
constantly reach new heights, be strong and achieve the goals we set
together.
No
matter the kind of work each of us does, we always work
for the prosperity of the Fatherland, for its rapid,
breakthrough development for the sake of its people,
for the high quality and level of their lives.
Let me
propose a toast to our wonderful Homeland,
to the prosperity of all the citizens of our country.
Happy
holiday! Happy Russia Day!
