Greetings on the 1000th anniversary of Suzdal

August 9, 2024

Vladimir Putin sent his greetings to the Vladimir Region Governor Alexander Avdeyev and the residents of Suzdal on the city’s 1000th anniversary.

The message reads, in part:

“One of the most ancient cities in the Vladimir Region and all of Russia, Suzdal has played a significant role over the centuries in shaping our statehood and has witnessed important and truly landmark events. The city is renowned for its unique architectural monuments, religious shrines, and the talents and craftsmanship of its many generations of residents.

It is heartening to see your deep love for your home city and the pride you take in its rich historical and cultural heritage. Thanks to your creative energy and dedication, Suzdal is rightfully regarded as a true jewel of Russia's Golden Ring. The city continues to flourish each year, serving as a major attraction for visitors from across the country and beyond. It has also become a recognised centre for hosting festivals, as well as much sought-after public and educational events.”
