By tradition, today, on the second Sunday of October, Farm Workers' Day was celebrated in Russia. To mark the occasion, President Putin made a special statement.

President Putin: "Farm workers have always enjoyed and, I'm sure, will always enjoy great respect in any country, and it always has been the case in Russia. In recent years, Russian agriculture has shown remarkable growth. Until recently, we didn't think it would be possible, we didn't think it could happen in Russia. However, over the last five years, agricultural productivity has grown by 20%.

 

Almost a quarter of our citizens live and work in rural areas, which is why we will continue to do our best to make living in the countryside better, more eventful, and enjoyable and to provide people with opportunities to implement their plans, reach their goals, and demonstrate their best qualities and talents".
