Message of Congratulations from Russia’s Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov on Russia Day

Dear friends! Today, our entire country celebrates Russia Day—a holiday that symbolizes the unity of our people, the greatness of our history and confidence in the future. This day reminds us of our centuries-old traditions and the heroic deeds of our ancestors, which laid the foundation for modern Russia. We take pride in the heroes who defended our Motherland in difficult times, the scientists who advanced progress, and the creators who glorified our national culture. Their legacy continues to inspire us to this day. Special words of gratitude go to parents and educators who raise the new generation. It is within the family, kindergarten, school, college, and university that love for the Motherland, respect for its history, and the desire to work for the good of the country are instilled. Our mission is to provide children not only with knowledge, but also with strong moral values and to teach them to appreciate the opportunities that Russia offers. I wish you good health, peace, well-being, and new achievements for the prosperity of our great country!
