Dear teachers, employees and students!

I sincerely congratulate you on National Unity Day!

This year the holiday invokes a special emotional response in our souls. Today, national unity is most urgent and important for the preservation of the integrity and sovereignty of our country. In the geopolitical world, forces acting according to the well-known principle of “Divide and conquer” have intensified. Our main task is to confront them. This is not a call for aggression. On the contrary, everyone should be in their place: approach their work responsibly, take care of their loved ones, not to succumb to multiple provocations and fakes.

Our country has always been multi-ethnic, and in critical moments all the peoples living in Russia were united. Russia is our common home, and we are all Russians. Let us be proud of it and do everything for the benefit of our family and country.

Happy holiday! Harmony, well-being and success!
