The message reads:
Ms Bystritskaya, I would like to warmly congratulate you on your birthday. You are deservedly among the brightest stars on our national theatrical scene. You have served as an outstanding actor with the Maly Theatre for many years. You have performed a lifetime of roles on this wonderful stage, and you have played leading parts that have brought you both professional recognition and the sincere love of the public.
Theatre-lovers of all ages have long admired your brilliant work in cinema. Russian cinematography would be inconceivable without the proud Cossack Aksinya from 'Quietly Flows the Don', the explosive Lyolya from 'The Volunteers', and the sincere and frank doctor from the 'Unfinished Novel'.
On this spring day, I warmly wish you good health. Let both energy and inspiration continue to serve as your inseparable companions.
My wife congratulates you as well.
Dmitry Medvedev
