Interethnic peace, respect of different peoples and faiths for each other, cohesion and unity in the face of a common enemy have always been at the core of the Russian state itself.

There have always been plenty of people who want to sow evil and hatred, divide people, and tear apart the country. Enemies have been attacking us for centuries, trying to destroy Russian statehood from within and without.

Only the age-old wisdom of our people – Orthodox, Muslims, Jews and Buddhists – did not, does not allow and will not allow evil to reign on our land. So let’s win!

Happy National Unity Day!
