cosmonauts Ivan Vagner, Alexander Gorbunov, and Alexei Ovchinin took part in
the nationwide flash mob "Mothers Are Our Stars," dedicated to
Mother's Day, and prepared a special holiday message from aboard the ISS.
They spoke
about how family shapes each individual's personality and the vital role of
mothers in this process, as well as the immense power of maternal love!
To all
wives, sisters, mothers, and grandmothers, the residents of orbit wished
endless happiness, health, warmth, and for every year to be the Year of the
Family and every day to be Mother's Day.
The rules
of the nationwide flash mob "Mothers Are Our Stars" are simple: write
a post on social media to congratulate mothers on Mother's Day, add a photo or
video, and include the hashtags #МамыНашиЗвезды and #ГодСемьи.
"What Does the Motherland Begin With?" is an original project launched by the National Centre RUSSIA and implemented during the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia with the support of the Government of the Russian Federation.
