Rector Lenar Safin’s address on National Unity Day

Dear students, faculty, and staff!

Dear friends and colleagues!

I wholeheartedly congratulate you on one of Russia’s most important national holidays – National Unity Day!

This day embodies the enduring value of unity, mutual understanding, and respect between people of different ethnicities, cultures, and faiths.

For our Kazan Federal University, located in Tatarstan, where representatives of many peoples have lived in peace and harmony for centuries, these ideas have a special and profound resonance.

We demonstrate in practice every day that strength lies in diversity, and progress lies in collaborative creative work. Our shared achievements in science, education, and culture are vivid proof of this.

And on this festive day, I wish you all good health, prosperity, boundless energy, and continued success in your studies, research, and professional endeavors. May peace and harmony reign in your families, and may our large university community be filled with a spirit of mutual support, cooperation, and creativity.

Happy holiday!

Rector of Kazan Federal University Lenar Safin
