Russian President Vladimir Putin and His Holiness Patriarch Kirill laid flowers at the monument to Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky on Red Square. Representatives of Russia's traditional religions participated in the ceremony. In 1612, our people managed to unite, overcome the troubles and save the motherland. And today we must remember that God created us as a collective people, not as separate individuals. And that is our strength! This is how our ancestors saved St. Ross from trouble. And so we must keep it for our children and grandchildren. Happy National Unity Day, brothers and sisters!
