📅 #OTD in 1612, the people’s volunteer army led by Kuzma Minin and Prince Dmitry Pozharsky, liberated Moscow from Polish-Lithuanian invaders.
Therefore, #NationalUnityDay (introduced by the executive order of the President of Russia in December 2004) has been celebrated all over our country every year since 2005.
🦅 The holiday has deep historical roots. It was celebrated from 1613 until 1917, and was established by the first tsar of the Romanov dynasty Michael to honour the icon of Our Lady of Kazan, which accompanied the liberators of Moscow.
A monument to citizen Minin and Prince Pozharsky by sculptor Ivan Martos was erected on Red Square on the order of Emperor Alexander I in 1818 to honour the memory of patriots who led the fight for national liberation.
On November 4, 2005, a copy of this monument, executed by Zurab Tsereteli and gifted by Moscow City Hall, was unveiled in Nizhny Novgorod, a city that played a crucial role in creating the volunteer army.
💬 Vladimir Putin: The history of our country is continuous, a constant stream. We must consider it in its entirety, with all its extremely complicated and even controversial periods. For the state, the authorities, society and its citizens, it is crucial to have objective, complete knowledge of our past, both the distant past and the near and recent past. Everything here matters, especially today.

#KievRegimeCrimes
The Kiev neo-Nazi regime persists in its attacks on civilian infrastructure, terrorising the civilian population of Russia.
Over the past week, Ukrainian artillery strikes and drone attacks have injured 113 Russian civilians, with 19 being killed — including one child — and 94 wounded, among them 10 children.
On October 25-26, the AFU executed multiple deliberate attacks using American HIMARS multiple-launch rocket systems and GMLRS rockets, damaging structures and the floodgates of the Belgorod Reservoir dam.
Russian courts continue to sentence Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
Lithuanian mercenary Povilas Adomas Limontas, who participated in the fighting on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the DPR and LPR, was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison in absentia. He is on the international wanted list.
Criminal cases have been sent to court against Nieto Kevin Javier Ramirez, Eric Victor Hall and TakaoTainaka, “legionnaires” from Colombia, Sweden and Japan who fought in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. All of them are on the international wanted list.
#Moldova #NeoNazism #FalsificationOfHistory
We have taken note of alarming trends in Moldova, where the authorities are trying to rewrite history, glorifying Nazi criminals and their accomplices, and downplaying the heroism of the Red Army soldiers who died for the republic’s liberation from the fascist Romanian invaders. They are shamelessly vandalising the monuments to Soviet soldiers and celebrating the Romanian accomplices of Nazi Germany.
It is obvious that the Chisinau authorities’ attempts to rewrite history are yet another proof of not simply disrespectful but barbaric attitude to the history and culture of the Republic of Moldova, and to the victims of fascist Romanian invaders and their descendants.
#Britain #Russophobia #Terrorism
The Russophobic elements in the UK continue to pursue the same malign goals against Russia, using the same inhuman methods — supplying explosives and weapons, sponsoring assassinations and terrorist attacks, and intimidating civilians.
London’s influence toolkit for dealing with those who oppose its neocolonial thinking and practices remains as ready as ever.
#NationalUnityDay2025
November 4 has marked Russia’s #NationalUnityDay. This holiday commemorates liberation of Moscow from Polish invaders by the people’s militia in 1612. It carries profound historical and cultural meaning and reminds us of the value of unity, the importance of defending Motherland, and the preservation of Russia’s traditional spiritual and moral values.
Throughout Russia’s thousand-year history, unity has always been the source of our country's greatest victories and the cornerstone of the Russian state’s achievements.
This holiday carries special significance for the Special military operation participants who perform feats in the name and glory of our Motherland on a daily basis.
