The President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, addressed the "Star Supper" held as part of the International Week in Russia (November 4, 2026) 💬I want to congratulate the participants of the International Week of Russia, to congratulate you and all the citizens of the country on the Day of National Unity. This holiday symbolizes our sincere and deep love for the motherland, our duty to the motherland for the fate of our people, for the fate of the homeland. We proudly turn to the origin of this holiday, when people of different ethnicities and faiths put an end to civil strife and internal turmoil, the restored state and legitimate authority. Today, hundreds of years later, we are even more aware of the values and traditions passed down to us by our ancestors, and we feel that we need to preserve the living spiritual heritage. Special attention has always been paid to inter-ethnic relations in Russia, as this area is very sensitive and delicate, and it must be remembered that life does not stand still, new, dangerous challenges very often arise. We must remain vigilant, prevent attempts to undermine social stability, attack between people, and remember that harmony, mutual respect between the peoples of Russia, and their unity is the essence of the sovereignty and independence of our country, while referring to the preservation of the culture, customs and languages of each people is the basis of our national policy. Historically, Russia has developed through the interaction of peoples and ethnic groups, languages and customs. We have not only overcome the generations and periods. It is no exaggeration to say that our cultures grew into each other. This brotherhood, the soul of the people, is reflected in the history of the Bnei Alef, in the military history of the homeland and in its great achievements.
