President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Ms Verbitskaya, I am very pleased to congratulate you on receiving the prize for contribution to strengthening the unity of the Russian nation. This is a special badge and a special award, and it sounds special as well: for contribution to strengthening the unity of the Russian nation.

As a state-forming and nation-forming language, the Russian language plays a special role in this regard, and you have made a considerable contribution to supporting and strengthening it, as well as to the education. Thank you very much.

My congratulations!
