Let’s raise the Russian flag together across the country
The National Centre RUSSIA is joining the nationwide
#RaiseTheFlag campaign and invites everyone to take part in the flash mob of
the same name, whose main goal is to unite the country around a shared symbol.
The large-scale campaign is being held from 19 to 22 August ahead of one of the
country’s most significant holidays — the Day of the State Flag of the Russian
Federation.
Raising the Russian flag is more than a tradition. It is a symbol of our
victories and achievements, both great and small. When a schoolchild raises the
flag at an assembly for the first time, an athlete raises it on the winners’
podium, a mountaineer raises it after reaching a summit or a cosmonaut raises
it high above the clouds, each of these moments embodies our shared history of victories,
of which everyone can become a part. It is no coincidence that the President of
Russia, Vladimir Putin, has said that each of us carries the gene of a winner.
We invite everyone — families, companies, professional communities and every
person who takes pride in their country — to share photographs or videos of
themselves raising the Russian flag on social media. Be sure to accompany your
image or video with the hashtags #RaiseTheFlag and #VictoryGene to become part
of this major celebration of pride and unity. If you do not have a suitable
photograph to hand, you can generate your own unique image featuring the flag
on the campaign website поднятьфлаг.рф.
We will always prevail, achieve our goals and raise our flag wherever we go.
Join the flash mob. Let’s raise the Russian flag together across our vast
country!
The forum programme includes business, cultural and sporting events.
The President highlighted the importance of preserving the languages, culture and traditions of indigenous peoples, as well as international cooperation in this area.
