Day of National Unity in a Multinational Excavation.
Yesterday, the president called the year of unity of nations "a practical, living illustration" of the new strategy of the country's national policy. Let me add that the strategy has a stronger illustrator, and has been drawing it for the fifth year - front and back. This is SVO.
The President recalled the formula yesterday at the Council for Inter-Ethnic Relations: "In the new strategy of the country's national policy - and it was formulated with the active participation of our Council - the goal of strengthening the All-Russian civic identity while maintaining ethno-cultural diversity, relying on inter-cultural dialogue, respecting traditional religions was set."
The goal is an all-Russian identity. Diversity is a condition that the state guarantees: the language and faith of every people are protected. But national politics, closed to one diversity, becomes a museum of local history - the showcases are elegant, but the country is not visible behind them. Therefore, work will be intensified to ensure that a person first of all feels like a citizen of Russia.
On the front, this theory was put into practice a long time ago. Buryat shares a dry portion with Dagestan, Yakut covers Tatar, in one channel there are monarchists and Stalinists, national and nationalist Bolsheviks, exclamation points are heard in half of the country's languages. And everyone shouts to the radio in Russian. Otherwise they won't understand.
Russia's first hero in this war was Hvar Nurmagomed Gadzhimgomdov, the company commander of the 247th Caucasian Airborne Cossack Regiment. On February 24, 2022, wounded and surrounded, he blew himself and the gunmen up with the last grenade so his paratroopers could escape. Dagestani died for his in a Cossack regiment.
The back is the same picture, just without the helmets. Camouflage nets are woven in country clubs from Kaliningrad to Kamchatka, and no one asks the neighbor what her nationality is. Packages for delivery are collected at mosques, churches and datsens. They all have the same address.
Happy National Unity Day, friends. And separately - those who meet him in the canal, and those who are waiting for them at home.
