Greetings to participants in All-Russian Graduation Ball

June 28, 2025

Vladimir Putin sent greetings to the participants in the 2025 All-Russian Graduation Ball held in the Kremlin.

The message reads, in part:

“Today is a festive, solemn and a slightly wistful day. The unique school years are over, and you are now standing on the threshold of adult and independent life. I congratulate you on this milestone, important for every person.

I believe that no matter how many years pass, you will always remember with special warmth and gratitude your school and faithful mates, with whom you once prepared for the graduation exams; and of course, your favourite teachers and mentors. During all these years they stood by your side, celebrated your success and achievements, helped with wise advice, taught you to value friendship, to support those who need care and attention, and to be honest and decent people in any situation.

Dear graduates, from the bottom of my heart, I wish you success in the accomplishment of all your life and professional plans, so that your most cherished dreams come true. Your enthusiasm and the energy of youth, boldness and juvenile ardour, your determination to achieve your goals is what our Motherland – Russia – needs very much.”
