"25 Reasons for Pride": 25 years of sovereignty, progress, and growth

We conclude the special project "25 Reasons for Pride," dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the first inauguration of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin — a date that marked the beginning of a new era. An era of a strong, sovereign, modern Russia.

25 years — 25 chapters of a chronicle we have written together. Stories of a path walked with dignity. Today, we see how the President’s words become part of the national code:

"We are the multinational people of the Russian Federation, united by a common destiny on our land. These are the opening lines of the Constitution of Russia. Each word carries deep meaning and great significance."

These words contain the essence: Russia’s strength lies in its people, in what unites us through centuries and trials. In multinational unity, in respect for the deeds of our ancestors, in shared memory — the foundation of the future.

Development is our historical duty to future generations.

This phrase expresses the essence of the strategy of the past 25 years: Russia not only overcomes challenges — it lays the foundation for tomorrow. In an era of rapid and unpredictable global change, we are investing in education, technology, infrastructure — everything that strengthens the country from within. Because true patriotism is not only about remembering the past but also about working for the future.

Russia will either be independent and sovereign, or it will not exist at all.

And we have made our choice in favor of sovereignty. We brought back the flag, the anthem, the voice. We came to believe once again that Russia is not just a territory — it is strength, values, and people.

The project "25 Reasons for Pride" is 25 chapters of our shared path. About what we have achieved. About what we can truly be proud of. Watch, read, and remember together with the National Centre RUSSIA — and have no doubt: this is only the beginning.
