We sincerely congratulate everyone on a true men's holiday – Defender of the Fatherland Day!
We sincerely congratulate everyone on a true men's holiday – Defender of the Fatherland Day! The concept of the Fatherland encompasses a great deal: one's native home, family, the country to which one feels a sense of belonging, and dear ones. To cherish and protect all of this is a man's duty. February 23rd is a significant date for all men who once had the honour of wearing shoulder straps and military uniform, as well as for all women who anxiously and proudly awaited the return of their sons, brothers, and loved ones from the ranks of the Armed Forces. We grew up with this holiday, maturing and becoming stronger, taking inspiration from the history of our people and its finest representatives. Despite the changing times and political systems, February 23rd, just as it was decades ago, is primarily associated with courage and resilience of human character, strength of spirit, and devotion to the Motherland.
And even the greatest changes in the modern world will not disrupt this. We are witnessing radical changes occurring both here and around the globe. Our society also lives in different dimensions. But we must not forget, nor cast aside, all that preceded this.
Honour and courage are not just words. And we believe that neither the daily grind, nor everyday life, nor insidious crises, nor petty disputes can destroy these qualities in our men. And, if necessary, you will always stand up to defend your family, your home, your loved ones, and your country.
Happy holiday, dear Defenders! We wish you robust health, active longevity, victorious decisions, loyal allies, and a reliable rear!
