Welcome speech of the Ambassador of Russia to UK Alexander Yakovenko to the guests of the “Sabantuy” festival
Dear guests!
Rahim itegez!
I am glad to welcome all of you today at the sixth Sabantuy festival in London. “Plow holiday” marks the end of spring fieldwork in the Volga region. The work is mainly office in London, but this does not prevent all who cherish traditions, childhood memories, native language, come to the party. This holiday demonstrates the richness and diversity of Russian culture, where the traditions of all its peoples are respected and supported.
This year’s holiday coincided with another celebration taking place in Russia, including Kazan – the World Cup. Russians of all nationalities have already demonstrated sincere hospitality and cordiality to fans from many foreign countries. Now we can introduce those who stayed in London with the good traditions of Sabantuy and open another piece of the mysterious Russian soul for them.
I would like to thank the Tatar-Bashkir “Zaman” community of Great Britain, the Chamber of Russian communities, the Rossotrudnichestvo office in London, the Sputnik Association and the “LiA Events” company for today’s holiday, which will bring everyone a lot of positive emotions, new acquaintances, and good mood.
