(KZN.RU, June 12). Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, congratulated Kazan citizens on the Day of Russia, which is celebrated across the country on June 12.

“Today we celebrate one of the most important public holidays. The Day of Russia embodies the power and strength of our country. This date is included in a number of important historical events as a start point for the current stage of Russian statehood and the formation of an independent legal democratic society.

Russia is a huge multinational state that unites millions of people. The independence of our country is the result of the great work and patience of its citizens, which have defended the state’s interests in the face of any dangers. Russia has become a politically and economically stable state and has strengthened its authority on the international stage precisely because of its cohesive people.

Residents of Kazan and the Republic of Tatarstan make a great contribution to the development and strengthening of our state’s power by their persistent creative work.

I with all my heart congratulate you on the occasion! I wish you good health, happiness, peace, and prosperity!” says the appeal.
