Vladimir Putin congratulated Russia’s women
on International Women’s Day.
President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Dear women:
mothers, grandmothers, daughters, wives, friends, our nearest and dearest
ones, please accept my heartfelt congratulations on International
Women’s Day!
You fill this world with beauty and vitality,
giving warmth and comfort, cordiality and harmony with your
tenderness and generosity of spirit.
You care day and night for your children,
grandchildren and your family. Even today, on International Women’s
Day, you are still caught up in your routine, working tirelessly, always
on time. We often ask ourselves, how do they manage it all?
Most importantly, we love and treasure you. No
wonder men have been celebrating women in music and poetry
for centuries. Konstantin Balmont, a Russian Silver Age poet,
described women in a vivid and precise manner:
A woman – with us when we are born,
A woman – with us in our last hour,
A woman – our standard during battle,
A woman – the joy of open eyes.
We always turn to women for inspiration
and consolation, and always find it. Women give us life
and perpetuate it in our children.
That said, women also need men’s support. We will
remember that always, not only today. We will do our outmost to surround
the women we love with care and attention, so that they can smile
more often.
Once again, let me congratulate you sincerely
on this holiday. I wish you good health, success, joy
and happiness. Happy Women’s Day!
