Vladimir Putin congratulates Russian graduates on graduation

On June 28, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed congratulations to Russian graduates on the occasion of their graduation.

"Dear graduates, friends! I sincerely want to congratulate you, your family and mentors on a special, unique and very exciting holiday. You are saying goodbye to school, entering a new, as yet unexplored stage of life. And together with your friends, you dream, you make plans for who you will become, what heights you will achieve," the president said.

According to Putin, the road to achieving these goals will require graduates to "persevere, be willing to work for results, and be responsible." The Russian leader expressed confidence that they possess all these qualities and will be able to fulfill their dreams.

"The main thing is to believe in yourself and remember that any personal success takes on a special meaning when your work benefits people and is needed by your native country," the head of state recalled.

He noted the special role of teachers in striving to give students the knowledge they need in the modern world, as well as in supporting their students and rejoicing with their victories and achievements.

"I would like to wish each of the graduates to find and realize their vocation, a profession in which you can maximize your abilities and talents. To do this, you, as well as all the young people of our country, have the widest opportunities open to you today," Putin said.

The President also stressed the importance of seeing like-minded people in front of him and focusing on the inspiring examples of others. Graduates can do this by looking at "very young guys, almost <...> the same age" who, despite their young age, contribute to strengthening the country, enhance its best traditions, protect genuine values and national interests.

"Once again, I congratulate everyone on the holiday! Go ahead boldly, set big, ambitious goals for yourself, and your loved ones and your mentors and the state of Russia will always support you in your endeavors so that you are proud of the country and the country is proud of you. Good luck to you! Good afternoon!" the Russian leader concluded.

"The current results of the Unified State Exam are the breakthrough of the year"
