The message reads, in part:
“Over the years, the Commission has accumulated significant expertise, substantially strengthened its capabilities, and made a considerable contribution to safeguarding our nation’s security. Under its coordinating role, key regulatory documents have been developed to govern security regimes and to grant citizens and organisations access to state secrets. I would also like to particularly commend your painstaking and essential work in declassifying archival materials, which bring to light new, previously unknown facts and help restore historical truth.
I wish to emphasise that the importance of the tasks entrusted to the Interdepartmental Commission demands from each of you deep and thorough knowledge, a responsible approach, and rigorous execution of your duties. I am confident that you will continue to discharge these responsibilities in a worthy manner for the benefit of Russia and our citizens.”
