Dear friends!

Today we celebrate the professional holiday of the many thousands of the Russian press teams.

Journalists, news photographers, editors, proofreaders, labour collectives of E-zines and Russian Post - all of them are involved in preserving the fact that newspapers and magazines remain welcome all over our country of many millions: from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok, from Amderma to Makhachkala.

The glorious team of the Naryana Vynder newspaper carries out a very special mission since reindeer breeders, fishers, oilmen, teachers, doctors, builders, pilots and local veterans of labour are waiting for the Nenets Autonomous District's  (NAO) leading printed press's next edition. The newspaper is the gold stone of the well-bred, always objective and balanced information. 

The Russian Arctic always means difficult weather conditions; often it means lack of roads and proper connection including to the Internet. That's how the entire Arctic world works. Nowadays, a very special attention is paid to the Arctic because it has a huge stock of fresh water, resources and energy means, the Northern Sea Route and the borders of our Motherland.

We congratulate the glorious team of the Naryana Vynder newspaper with the Russian press Day. We know that it is a difficult profession and our life's realities show that journalists may write about so-called uncomfortable topics what makes them victims of and at the peacetime.

We can foresee that the Press Day may cease to be actual and be replaced with a, for example, Bloger's Day or a Tik-Toker's Day, however we're confident that the Naryana Vynder's journalistic team will maintain its unique style and many readers from the NAO will continue to demand a real newspaper with a smell of a printing ink.

We wish you happiness, health, further creative successes,  new Tolkachyov-style rousing reports and stories, new Pichkov-style verses and new analytical materials. Moreover we wish you victories in All-Russia competitions where the Nenets journalism has repeatedly gained rightful recognition.

Way to go!

King regards,

A. N. Chilingarov, Russian Special Presidential Envoy for Cooperation in the Arctic and the Antarctic,
