President of Russia Vladimir
Putin: Citizens of Russia, Friends,
A new year, year 2019, is
right around the corner. Behind us is the busy month
of December, when we rushed to complete all our urgent tasks,
finalised our plans for the future, and of course, got
ready for New Year celebrations. Filled with excitement and hope, we
are now waiting for the New Year to arrive. We see the eyes
of our children shining with enthusiasm. We feel the joy of our
parents and grandparents, if the entire family is together
at this moment. Their hearts are warmed by the tenderness
and attention, and they can experience the New Year magic
created by the generosity of our spirits. This generosity is
essential not only when we celebrate, but also in our daily lives, when we
are there to support those who need our help, those who are alone
or not well. After all, we must be responsive to the misfortunes
of others, and care is always repaid in kindness and gives
us the joy of involvement.
Friends,
While our expectations
at this very moment may differ, what we all want is for our loved
ones to be healthy, our home to be full of harmony, our children
to bring us joy, our life to be peaceful, and our dreams, even
the most sacred ones, to come true.
Just like in our childhood,
on New Year’s Eve we make wishes and expect this night to bring
us luck and success. May all this come true. At the same time,
we all know for sure that only through our own efforts
and by working together can we build a better life for ourselves,
our families and our homeland.
We face many pressing tasks
in the economy, research, technology, healthcare, education
and culture. What matters the most is that we make steady progress
in improving the wellbeing and quality of life
in Russia, so that all its people, each and every one of us, feel
the change for the better as soon as next year.
We will succeed, but only if we
are able to work together. We never had any help in these endeavours,
and never will. For this reason, we must form a team that is
united, strong and acts as a single whole. Let
the friendship and good hopes that bring all of us together
accompany us moving forward and help us in our work
and in achieving our common goals.
Friends,
The New Year is just
a few seconds away. Let us wish happiness to those next to us.
Let us say the warmest words to all those we treasure, thank our
parents, give a tender hug to our children, and open our hearts
to each other. After all, when millions of people share these
wonderful feelings, the world is filled with love and trust.
From all my heart I wish
joy and wellbeing to you, and success and prosperity
to our homeland, to our beloved Russia.
