The Russian Mufties Council and mufti sheikh Ravil Gaynutdin received congratulations on the Day of National Unity:

Dear Mufti!

I congratulate you on the Day of National Unity.

The basis of this national holiday is a deep respect for civilian heroism of the people and the heroic history of the Fatherland. Then, almost four centuries ago, our ancestors defended the independence of their country and strengthened the Russian state.

Today, resting upon the traditions of patriotism and solidarity, we solve the problem of comprehensive modernization of the country. Russia's future and well-being of its citizens 

depends on our initiative, energy and responsibility. 

I wish you health, success in business and all the best.

Dmitry Medvedev.

We congratulate the Russian Muslims and all Russians on this holiday!
