Dear Colleagues!
Dear fellow countrymen!
This year we celebrate Republic Day with a special feeling. Exactly one hundred years ago, a decree on the formation of the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was adopted. This event influenced not only the development of the Tatar people but also all others who lived then and now live on this land. We have passed a rather difficult path. Century after century, our peoples have learned from each other, learned to coexist peacefully. Now, looking back from the height of the past years, one can proudly say that Tatarstan has become a common home. And such solidarity is our strength, a solid foundation for a great future. I want to thank everyone for their sincere participation in preserving peace in our land and for the efforts made to make our native land more beautiful and more comfortable. I wish you good health, new labor achievements, peace and prosperity, confidence in the future. Happy Holidays! Happy Republic Day!
