Dear defenders of the Fatherland, diplomats, compatriots and friends of Russia all over the world!
In the Year of Defender of the Fatherland, which unites generations and continents, we honor those who guard peace, sovereignty and international cooperation. 2025 is a special year: 80 years ago, our ancestors gave the world a Great Victory, and today, in an era of global challenges, you continue their work, strengthening security and dialogue between peoples.
Your mission is a synthesis of valor and wisdom. In 1945, soldiers and diplomats forged the post-war world order together, and today you, the heirs of their traditions, defend the interests of the Motherland on all fronts: in meeting rooms, in space orbits, in digital spaces and distant countries. You are the ones who preserve the memory of the victims of the war, develop the regions of Russia and build bridges of trust with foreign partners.
It is important for us to emphasize that the defense of the Fatherland is not only a weapon, but also a word, not only borders, but also culture, not only the army, but also diplomacy. From Kaliningrad to Kamchatka, from the Middle East to Latin America— your efforts create a foundation for stability that allows nations to develop and states to find common ground.
Let your work be inspired by the legacy of the 1945 winners, and let modern technology and international cooperation open up new opportunities. We wish you good health, strategic foresight, success in strengthening interstate relations and confidence: every step you take is a contribution to the peaceful future of the planet.
Thank you for building on the past to create a present worthy of a great story. From February 23rd!
Glory to the heroes, whose feat teaches us to win!
Glory to those who carry the banner of Russia in the 21st century!
With gratitude and warmth,
Editorial staff of the Online publication “Embassy Life”
