Happy Russia Day
On June 12, Russia celebrates one of its most important national holidays, Russia Day. For Russians and their compatriots living abroad, this day symbolizes the more than a thousand-year history of the Russian state’s continuous development.
Today, our diverse nation is ready to share the spirit of this celebration with everyone who believes in creating a more peaceful world founded on equality and mutual respect.
Over the centuries, Russia has gained a unique experience of bringing together hundreds of peoples. While preserving their distinct identities, they continue to shape a shared present and future. This diversity is our strength, our heritage, and the foundation for future growth.
Happy Russia Day! As the motto of the International Festival of Youth 2026 says, “Follow your dream,” together with us:
With respect,
Directorate team
World Youth Festival
Happy Russia Day
