Dear students, faculty, and staff of Derzhavin University!
On November 4, the entire country celebrates a wonderful holiday – National Unity Day.
Russia's strength lies in its multinational people. Today, it comprises more than 190 nationalities and ethnic groups speaking over 270 languages and dialects. We have much to be proud of: our country is the only one that has not lost a single national cultural phenomenon over many centuries, nor has it allowed its minority ethnic groups to disappear. We value the diversity that is formed with the participation of every ethnic group. At the same time, we share a fundamental understanding: civic responsibility is manifested in service to one's country. The soldiers defending Russia's interests during special operations know this well. Our students – one of the most diverse youth groups – understand this. This is an unwavering priority of our value system and the key to future victories. Happy holiday, dear compatriots! Happy National Unity Day!
