In honor of the International Women's Day,
the President read the poem.
MOSCOW,
March 8. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has congratulated Russia’s
women upon the March 8 holiday to emphasize their gift to radiate kindness and
hospitality.
"Only
you, our dear ladies, are capable of creating a hospitable climate at work and
at home, to carry the burden of daily chores to take care of the home and
children and to serve as a moral example to follow," Putin said on
the Rossiya-24television channel.
Putin said
that International Women’s Day was a good occasion to address women with words
of tremendous respect and to admire their beauty and tenderness.
In particular,
he praised mothers with many children and those who had adopted orphaned
children. Rearing children is "great happiness and responsibility at the
same time," he said.
"We
know that a woman’s heart is the most faithful, that her forgiveness is most touching
and that motherly love is truly infinite," he said.
"May
all of you be loved and happy," Putin said.
International
Women’s Day was established in 1910 at the initiative of German woman activist
and campaigner for women’s equality Clara Zetkin. For the first time it was
marked on March 19 1011 in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. In Russia
it has been marked since 1913. In modern Russia it is an official public
holiday and a day off.
