| Summary/Abstract |
75 years have passed since the end of the Great Patriotic War. Several generations have grown up over the years. The political map of the planet has changed. The Soviet Union that claimed an epic, crushing victory over Nazism and saved the entire world is gone. Besides, the events of that war have long become a distant memory, even for its participants. So why does Russia celebrate the 9th of May as the biggest holiday? Why does life almost come to a halt on June 22? And why does one feel a lump rise in their throat?

President of the Russian Federation
COLLEAGUES,
As you know, today, Russia is observing a national day of mourning for those killed in the south of our country and in the road accident in Ukraine. This is a great tragedy, a great misfortune. I ask you to stand and honor the victims' memory with a minute of silence.
(Minute of silence.)
Thank you.
Colleagues,
I greet today the senior members of Russia's diplomatic service. Our first meeting took place in 2002, when we celebrated the Foreign Ministry's 200th anniversary. The decade that has passed since then has shown how useful and needed these regular and substantial discussions are. It is you and the people working under you who promote and defend our country's interests abroad on a daily basis, defend Russia's position, and help to increase its influence on the processes taking place in the world.
The diplomatic service's current priorities were set out in the Executive Order On Measures to Implement the Russian Federation Foreign Policy of May 7, this year. The fast-changing situation in international relations makes it more imperative than ever to improve the work of the Foreign Ministry and other agencies involved in this area. What is important now is to provide rapid and professional analysis of events taking place and make timely forecasts. But let me add here that it is not enough to simply be passive observers and "follow developments," as the traditional bureaucratic parlance has it. You need to be more active in trying to influence the situation in circumstances when

Russian interests are directly concerned, preempt developments, and be prepared for all possible turns of events, even the most unfavorable scenarios.

| Summary/Abstract |
President Vladimir Putin ... Citizens of Russia, Colleagues, ... As I come to the end of this second term in office as President of the Russian Federation I think that I should speak about what has been accomplished over these last years and set out our long-term vision of the future. ... As you well remember, the country was in a very difficult situation eight years ago. We had gone through a default and people had seen their savings devalued. Terrorists unleashed a large-scale civil war before our very eyes, insolently invading Dagestan and blowing up homes in Russian cities. ...
