      June 12, 2026 09:13 Society The Director of the National Research University of the Presidential Academy, Ekaterina Lebedeva, sent congratulations to the residents of Nizhny Novgorod: "Dear residents of Nizhny Novgorod! Please accept my sincerest congratulations on Russia Day! This day, 36 years ago, opened a new chapter in the history of our Motherland. On June 12, 1990, the First Congress of People's Deputies of the RSFSR adopted the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Russia. And today we proudly recognize ourselves as part of a great country with a centuries-old history, rich cultural heritage, and enormous potential. This is a holiday of national unity and civic responsibility for the future of our Motherland. For the Nizhny Novgorod Institute of Management of the Presidential Academy, this day holds special significance. Our mission is inextricably linked to serving Russia: we prepare a managerial elite capable of responding to the challenges of our time, generating new ideas, and making strategic decisions for the prosperity of our country. Our students are not just professionals in their field. We instill in them pride and respect for the history of the Fatherland, love for the Native land, patriotism, and a deep sense of responsibility for the fate of the Motherland. On this festive day, I wish everyone good health, well-being, and inexhaustible energy to realize the boldest plans. May everything we do together as the people of a great country contribute to the prosperity and strengthening of Russia's power! Happy holiday! Happy Russia Day!" the congratulation states.
