Prime Minister Vladimir Putin congratulates the employees of Russian cultural institutions on Cultural Worker Day

The message reads, in part:
The rich and distinctive culture of our multinational country has always been a source of pride for the Russian people. Our culture maintains our customs and traditions, enriches our lives and at the same time keeps us open to new and progressive ideas. It promotes the ideals of purity, justice and mercy.
Those who devote themselves to our national culture are well-educated, tolerant, enthusiastic and progressive. People who are employed at museums, theaters, archives, artistic and concert organizations, music schools and various children's institutions play a huge role in the nation's education.
Your noble work deserves deep respect and gratitude.
