“In all regions, both in large cities and in small towns, graduates say goodbye to school, say sincere thanks to their mentors.

From the bottom of my heart I congratulate you, your teachers, parents, all your loved ones on this wonderful event,” the President’s address says.

The Russian leader advised graduates to always set the highest bar for themselves, never give up, never give up if something doesn't work right away.

“And then you will definitely achieve success - personal, creative, professional, and your dreams will certainly become a reality,” Putin stressed.

The President also wished the graduates happiness, prosperity and good luck in everything.
