Dear friends and colleagues!

On this summer day, June 12, we celebrate the most important public holiday – Russia Day.

Our country is diverse and vast, surprisingly diverse, and rich. This wealth is expressed not only in an incredible variety of landscapes and natural resources, but also in a unique culture formed thanks to the intertwining traditions of the peoples living in Russia.

Russia is a state with more than a thousand years of history. And, today, the issues of historical truth and historical justice come to the foreground. Therefore, educational work and youth policy have become one of the priorities in higher education, along with the development of science and the training of in-demand personnel.

It is in our power to educate a worthy generation, to convey to them the love of the Motherland, to show the right guidelines. Talented university youth are actively involved in scientific work and volunteer activities, and experienced mentors and teachers are always ready to support, prompt and support them.

On this festive day, it is worth remembering that the future of our country depends on each of us. And the history of our state should become a source of experience and a unifying force.

Dear colleagues and partners, students and postgraduates! On this day, I wish you success in all good endeavours, good health, good thoughts, love for your work and loved ones. Let every house be bright and cosy. I wish you happiness and prosperity!

Rector of Saratov State University,

Aleksei Chumachenko
