The message reads, in part:
“For several decades, your traditional forum, always held in an atmosphere of the student brotherhood and friendly interaction, has served as a centre of attraction for young people from many regions of the country. The packed programme provides young men and women with a wonderful opportunity to display their talents and abilities in various spheres, including music, choreography, theatre and design. They can obtain sound professional advice from the project’s experts and mentors. Of course, I am particularly pleased to note during the Year of the Family that, throughout its existence, the Russian Student Spring Festival has helped many participants to assert themselves in their creative careers and to experience true love.
I am confident that the current forum will launch new interesting ideas and initiatives, and that it will undoubtedly become an exciting and unforgettable event for contestants and guests.”
