The message reads, in part:

“This holiday was established 75 years ago, in 1949, and is marked in many countries. Moscow is a traditional centre of celebrations in Russia. Today, it is welcoming guests from different regions of the country and from the Republic of Belarus and the People’s Republic of China. The children will enjoy colourful events, captivating excursions, and theatre shows. Without a doubt, they will meet interesting people, receive gifts, and enjoy surprises and friendly get-togethers.

I would like to emphasise that children’s education and strong family values are a priority of the state and society in our country. It is important for every child to be surrounded by loving care, to grow up healthy and happy, and to develop their talents and gifts. The Russian Children’s Fund is making a significant contribution to this mass-scale joint work. Its charitable programmes in health care, education, outreach, and creativity deserve the deepest recognition.”
