The message reads, in part:
"The Komsomolskaya Pravda daily has been a leading national publication for 85 years, carefully preserving and promoting its unique traditions while never loosing its vigour and youthful energy. Its millions of readers value KP for its objectivity, rich content and high professionalism in covering important events in Russia and the world. Its success is the natural result of an incessant creative effort by several generations of staff.
I am confident that the journalists, editors and other staff will preserve its honest and uncompromising attitude, ensuring KP's leadership in the national media market. I wish you further success and all the best."
