Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin congratulates SSU on the autumn state holiday:

‘Love for the Motherland, pride in our great country and respect for its centuries-old history are the main values of this holiday.

The feat of the national heroes who defended the Motherland is a vivid example of civic solidarity and a model of genuine patriotism.

And, today, it is especially important to preserve and multiply the priceless heritage, to remain faithful to traditions and basic moral principles. The present and the future of the country depend on mutual understanding and consent in society.

Together, we can cope with any challenges, do everything so that Russia will remain a strong, free and, independent country.’
