The message reads:

Friends,

Welcome at the National Exhibition Fair Books of Russia.

The exhibition has become a tradition and earned the recognition of professionals and many readers. This year all the best books that have been published in Russia are displayed here: over 1,000 books of different genres, including classical and modern works. It is vital that books for the younger generation have an important place in the exposition. I am sure that meetings with famous writers will be popular among the fair’s guests.

I wish you successful work, realisation of your plans and all the very best.

Dmitry Medvedev
