Congratulations from the Minister of Education of the Russian Federation Sergey Kravtsov on Russia Day

Dear friends!

Today we celebrate Russia Day – a holiday that unites all of us who are proud of the history, culture, and traditions of our great country. The year 2026 has been declared by the head of state as the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia. And this day serves as a vivid reminder: our strength lies in unity, in respect for the customs and languages of all peoples, in shared goals, and in faith in the future.

We are the heirs of the great victories, scientific discoveries, and cultural achievements of our compatriots. And today, our task is to pass on this pride and love for the Motherland to the younger generation. It is in the family, at school, in kindergarten, in college, and at university that the moral compass that makes a person a worthy citizen is formed.

We strive to ensure that every child feels part of a large family, respects the history of their country, and contributes to its prosperity.

Special words of gratitude today are addressed to our teachers, educators, mentors, and, of course, parents. Your daily work, love, and patience shape the individual and nurture patriots. Thanks to you, our children know what it means to be united as a people, they cherish traditions, and they look to the future with confidence.

I wish everyone good health, peace, kindness, and new successes for the benefit of our great Motherland! Happy Russia Day!

Minister of Education of the Russian Federation
