Greetings to readers of the book “Eternal Glory to Heroes”

April 10, 2025

Vladimir Putin sent a message of greetings to readers of the book “Eternal Glory to Heroes.”

The message reads:

“This remarkable book, published ahead of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, is dedicated to the heroic transport workers of the harsh war years.

They were among the first to confront a merciless enemy, working in extreme conditions to evacuate large numbers of civilians and major industrial enterprises inland, to deliver munitions, food and medicines to the front line and the rest of the country, and to maintain the connection between besieged Leningrad and the mainland via the Road of Life. The future generations will take pride, just as we do, in the supreme professionalism, courage and fortitude of these heroes and their enormous contribution to Victory.

I am confident that this publishing project will help preserve our historical memory and will appeal to a broad range of readers.”
