The message reads, in part:
“The famous IMEMO was established on the initiative of outstanding Soviet scientists who charted key aspects of its work, established influential schools and laid the traditions of relentless dedicated work.
It is gratifying that, over the years, the institute has accumulated substantial experience and has become a leading national academic, analytical and forecasting centre for studying main development trends in the global economy, politics and international relations. Importantly, you carefully preserve and develop the immensely rich creative heritage of your predecessors, maintain high professional standards and prioritise efforts to train young specialists.”
