I congratulate you on one of the most important public holidays - National Unity Day!

This day draws us to the turning points of the beginning of the 17th century, when the political crisis, internal strife and foreign intervention threatened the existence of Russian statehood. In 1612, people of different classes and beliefs were able to rise above personal differences, rallied in the face of common danger and liberated Moscow from the invaders.

History has proven that Russia's main strength lies in its unique diversity and cohesion. Our country unites peoples, each of which has a unique culture, traditions and a great spiritual heritage. When we are united, we become an indestructible force capable of overcoming any challenges, making great discoveries and confidently moving forward.

For our university, this holiday is of particular importance. Representatives of different nationalities study and work within the walls of the university. Every day we prove that mutual respect, friendship and common creative goals help us achieve high results in study, science and social life.

I wish you good health, peace, harmony and new successes for the benefit of our Fatherland! Let mutual assistance and loyalty to common values always remain a reliable support for each of us.

Happy Holiday! Happy National Unity Day! Sincerely, Oleg Gribunov.
