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

Dear friends!

I congratulate you on Russian Language Day. This holiday unites millions of people in our country and beyond. The Russian language is a living link between times; it connects the past, present, and future. Great works of literature have been created in it, and the most important scientific discoveries have been made.

It is symbolic that quite recently a key event took place: the President chaired a meeting of the Council for the Implementation of State Policy in the Field of Supporting the Russian Language and the Languages of the Peoples of Russia. As a result, for the first time in modern Russia, nine normative dictionaries have been approved.

On this day, we also celebrate the birthday of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin, whose immortal works have accompanied us since childhood. Pushkin's legacy continues to live in the hearts of people around the world. Thanks to the "Russian Teacher Abroad" project and open education centers, more and more people are learning about the richness of Russian culture and language.

Happy holiday to all who study, teach, and love the great and mighty Russian language! May the Russian word always inspire you and bring the warmth of communication, and may your love for your native language only grow stronger over the years!

Minister of Education of the Russian Federation
