The message reads, in part:
“Over these years, the personnel of this service, one of the oldest units within the Federal Guard Service of Russia, have added quite a few memorable and unforgettable pages to the history of Russia, demonstrating unwavering professional competence as well as a thorough understanding of the special importance of their service in fulfilling their duties. Of course, I cannot fail to mention the unparalleled courage and heroism of the Commandant Office personnel during the Great Patriotic War.
It is essential that the current members of the Moscow Kremlin Commandant Office fulfil their duties with the same sense of responsibility so as to ensure the safety of the country’s leaders and the security of the Moscow Kremlin, our national shrine, remaining faithful to their duties and the best traditions set by the veterans, and serving Russia in all honesty.”
