“Only together can we make the country an economically strong and democratic power that is open to the world,” said the President.
Russia is a country with a thousand-year history and a unique heritage, uniting numerous peoples, territories and cultures over an enormous territory.
The power and dignity of Russia comes from the achievements and labour of its federal subjects. It is in the regions where its wealth is created and where people live for whose sake the Russian state is developing.
