(AGENPARL) – KREMLIN mar 23 maggio 2023
The ceremony for presenting the highest state decorations of the Russian Federation took place
at the Kremlin’s St Catherine Hall.
President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon, friends,
Today here, in the Kremlin, we are honouring outstanding
Russians whose hard work and heroic deeds, selfless service to the Fatherland
make a significant, outstanding contribution to our country’s development.
Thanks to you, a history of achievements is
being written that we admire and are proud of. The foundation is being
strengthened for further movement forward, for multiplying the best traditions that
our country and all our multinational people are famous for.
Friends, your life is an example that proves
every day that a sincere love for the Fatherland is a powerful driving force,
as well as the desire to work for the common good and achieve outstanding
success in various fields.
State thinking, impartiality and loyalty to the fundamental principles of law distinguish Valery Zorkin’s many years of work as President of the Constitutional Court. Mr Zorkin consistently upholds the supremacy of the Basic law, the letter and spirit of the Constitution.
A huge merit in strengthening Russian statehood
and federalism, interethnic harmony, the socioeconomic development of Tatarstan
and indeed all of Russia certainly belongs to Mintimer Shaimiyev, a strong and extraordinary politician, a man of exceptional wisdom and responsibility.
It is a great honour for me to present Mr
Zorkin and Mr Shaimiyev with Russia’s highest decoration: the Order of St
Andrew the Apostle.
The quality of people’s lives directly depends
on the efficient and well-coordinated work of various branches and levels of government. I want to thank all my colleagues who work with full dedication in this most important field for Russia: the civil service.
To be continued.
