The message reads, in part:
“The museum, which was established in 1919, has grown into a large cultural and educational centre with collections that include truly unique objects that are related to important events in Russian history, as well as to prominent politicians and statesmen who made a great impact on the development of our country. Your museum has won serious authority it truly deserves in the Russian and international museum and expert communities.
It is notable that there have always been top professionals among the museum’s personnel, who keep up its traditions and are also open to new ideas and initiatives.”
