Speech by the President for the New Year. Happy New Year greetings from Russian President Vladimir Putin

Residents of the Far East were the first to celebrate the New Year in Russia. They were the first to see the New Year's address from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In his congratulations, he thanked all Russians for “victories and achievements, for understanding and trust, for real, heartfelt concern for Russia.” The head of state admitted that the past year has not been easy, but its difficulties “brought us together and encouraged us to open up the enormous reserves of our capabilities to move forward.”

Vladimir Putin noted that the main thing is to believe in yourself and your country. He also thanked everyone for their successful work, especially noting those “who are now fulfilling their labor and military duty” on New Year’s Eve.

The President of Russia called on everyone to become “a little wizard” on the night of December 31 to January 1, to be attentive to loved ones and others: take care of parents and children, respect colleagues, and provide support to those in need.

“Peace and prosperity to our common, great Motherland - Russia, happiness to you and health, prosperity,” concluded Vladimir Putin.

The Parliamentary Gazette provides the full text of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s New Year’s address to Russian citizens:

Dear citizens of Russia! Dear friends!

2016 is leaving. It was not easy, but the difficulties we faced united us and prompted us to discover the enormous reserves of our capabilities to move forward.

The main thing is that we believe in ourselves, in our strengths, in our country. We work, we work successfully, and we achieve a lot. I would like to sincerely thank you for your victories and achievements, for your understanding and trust, for your real, heartfelt concern for Russia.

We have a huge, unique and beautiful country! We are united by common concerns and common joys; we are united by a long, good tradition of celebrating the New Year with our family, with hope for the best.

But not everyone is at the festive table today. Many of our citizens, including those far from their homes, ensure the security of Russia, work in enterprises and are on duty in hospitals, pilot trains and planes. To everyone who is now fulfilling their labor and military duty, my best wishes for the coming year.

Dear friends!

Now we are excitedly awaiting the striking of the Moscow Kremlin chimes and, more clearly than ever, we hear the passage of time and feel how the future is approaching. This happens only in these moments, on this wonderful, beloved holiday.

And he also has his own secrets. For example, each of us can become a little wizard on New Year's Eve. To do this, you just need to treat your parents with love and gratitude, surround your children and your family with attention and care, respect your work colleagues, cherish friendships, defend truth and justice, be merciful, and help those who are waiting for support. That's the whole secret.

May all our dreams, pure thoughts and good intentions come true. Let joy and love reign in every home. Let the streets, cities and towns dear to our hearts become more beautiful and attractive.

Peace and prosperity to our common, great Motherland - Russia. I wish you happiness, health and prosperity.

Happy holiday! Happy New Year 2017!

The success of the entire country depends on the effective work of everyone, and the glorious history of our fathers and grandfathers helps Russians adequately respond to modern challenges. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated this in his New Year's address, which traditionally airs a few minutes before midnight. Residents of all regions of Russia have already been able to see the president’s congratulations. We are publishing the full text of the President's New Year's greetings.

Dear citizens of Russia!

Dear friends! In a few minutes we will welcome the new year 2016.

The approach of this wonderful moment between the past and the future has been familiar to us since childhood. We are waiting for him with joy, hope and excitement. We believe in the best and brightest. Traditionally, we celebrate this holiday with our family and closest friends.

Of course, not everyone gets to celebrate the New Year with their family. We must work in hospitals and factories, fulfill official and military duties, and protect borders. Maintain constant vigil to ensure our safety on land, at sea and in the air.

We are grateful to all those who are always on duty day and night, on weekdays and on holidays. And today I would especially like to congratulate those of our military personnel who are fighting international terrorism on this holiday. They defend Russia's national interests at distant borders. Showing will, determination, and strength of character.

However, we need these qualities everywhere, always and in any business. The success of the entire country depends on the effective work and achievements of each of us. We are united by the same goals, the desire to benefit the Motherland. Responsibility for her fate.

In the past 2015, we celebrated the 70th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Our history, the experience of our fathers and grandfathers, their unity in difficult times and strength of spirit are a great example for us. They have helped and will continue to help us adequately respond to modern challenges.

Dear friends!

Now, on New Year's Eve, we especially feel how dear our loved ones are to us. How important it is that everything is fine with them, that they are all healthy. So that parents are warmed with care and attention. And everything good that they taught and teach us returned to them.

Let our children grow up smart and active. And love and responsiveness, spiritual generosity and mercy will be our support in everyday affairs.

There are only a few seconds left until the New Year begins. Let's wish each other success, joy and happiness! Let's thank each other for your understanding and support. For your participation and sensitivity. And we will definitely make a toast to the prosperity and well-being of Russia!

Happy holiday to you! Happy new year 2016!

Happy New Year 2017!!! Vladimir Putin's New Year's address for 2017 to Russian citizens dated December 31, 2016.

New Year's address to the people is in some countries a traditional personal address by the head of state or head of government to citizens, usually broadcast on television on New Year's Eve. The message usually contains congratulations on the New Year, a brief summary of the outgoing year and an overview of the prospects for the coming one.
In Russia, the President of the Russian Federation delivers a New Year's address.
For the first time, an address by the head of state to the people became possible in connection with the development of technology, primarily radio, and then television. The first such appeal can be considered the New Year's greeting on the radio on December 31, 1935, by the Chairman of the USSR Central Executive Committee M.I. Kalinin to the polar explorers.
A recording of the New Year's address of the President of the Russian Federation is broadcast on television and radio at # local time in each of the time zones of Russia. In his address, the President of the Russian Federation sums up the results of the outgoing year, determines priorities for the next, and congratulates citizens on the New Year. After his speech, the midnight chimes sound, announcing the beginning of the New Year, and the Russian national anthem, the performance of which is accompanied on television by views of the night Kremlin.
In Kamchatka, the appeal is transmitted after the new year to #.
In many countries, a few minutes before the onset of the New Year (in Russia, as a rule, on December 31), heads of state address their people with a speech, in which they usually summarize some of the results of the past year and wish good luck to citizens in the new year. The appeal is broadcast by the media.
In the USSR and Russia, the tradition of such addresses begins with the speech of L. I. Brezhnev before the New Year of 1970. At the same time, there were some incidents. So, on December 31, 1991, instead of the head of state, satirist Mikhail Zadornov spoke to television viewers. Another example is the double address on December 31, 1999 by the Russian President and the acting President. The first to be heard was B. N. Yeltsin’s address, in which he announced his resignation, and before midnight, V. V. Putin congratulated TV viewers on the upcoming New Year.
After the address of the head of state, the media broadcast an exact time signal at exactly midnight (in Russia this is the striking of the Kremlin chimes), marking the beginning of the new year (the new year begins with the start of the chime, 20 seconds before the 1st strike of the chimes). As a rule, the national anthem of the country is performed afterwards.
Next, entertainment television programs are broadcast, for example, “Blue Light,” filmed several weeks or months before the New Year.

The President's congratulations to the people of the Russian Federation on the New Year have long become a tradition, and without it it is impossible to imagine the feast on the night of December 31 to January 1.

The speech against the backdrop of the Kremlin is recorded in advance and broadcast on federal channels before the chimes strike. Russia is a huge country with several time zones, so in the east of the country the calendar New Year comes several hours earlier than in the west. Residents of Anadyr, Magadan and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky are the first to celebrate the New Year - at 16.00 Moscow time. Residents of these regions are the first to hear the president’s parting words for 2019, and thanks to the Internet, Putin’s New Year’s greetings can be watched online a few minutes after his speech. The text of the congratulations, as a rule, is banal and has streamlined wording, but sometimes a thesis review of the events of the outgoing year is inserted into the New Year's speech. If you want to watch Putin’s New Year’s speech before everyone else, go to this page after 16.00 Moscow time. The text of Putin’s congratulations on the New Year 2019 will also be published here.

Text of Putin's congratulations on the New Year 2018/2019

Dear citizens of Russia! Dear friends!

Time is bringing us closer to the New Year, 2019. Behind us is a busy December full of worries, when we were in a hurry to complete urgent matters, clarify plans for the future and, of course, prepare for the holiday. And now we are waiting with excitement and hope for the coming of the New Year, we see the delighted eyes of the kids, we feel how happy the parents and grandparents are if the whole family is together at these moments, and their hearts are warmed with sensitivity and attention and we understand that this is the New Year magic, and it is our spiritual generosity that creates it. It is in demand both on holidays and on weekdays, when we support those who need help, who are lonely or sick. After all, there really is no such thing as someone else’s misfortune, and mercy always responds with kindness and gives the joy of participation.

Dear friends!

Everyone has their own expectations now. But by and large, we all want our loved ones to be healthy, for harmony to reign in the house, for children to be happy, for life to be peaceful, and for dreams, even the most secret ones, to come true.

On New Year's Eve, like in childhood, we make wishes, expect luck and good fortune. And let them be. But we still know for sure that we can achieve the best for ourselves, for our family, for our native country only through our own efforts, through joint coordinated work.

We have to solve many pressing problems in the economy, science and technology, in healthcare, education and culture and, most importantly, step by step to achieve an increase in well-being and quality of life, so that all citizens of Russia, each of us, will feel changes for the better in the coming year.

We can only do this together. We have never had and never will have assistants. And that’s why it’s important for us to be a cohesive, united, strong team. And may the friendship and good hopes that unite everyone now accompany us in the future, help us in our work and in achieving common goals.

Dear friends!

Just a few seconds separate us from the New Year 2019. Let's wish happiness to those around us. Let's say our warmest words to everyone we love, thank the parents, hug the children tenderly and tightly, and open our hearts to each other. After all, when millions of people experience such bright feelings, the world is filled with love and trust.

I sincerely wish you joy and prosperity, and success and prosperity to our Motherland, our beloved Russia.

I congratulate you on the occasion! Happy New Year 2019!
