To V. V. Putin
Prime Minister of the Russian Federation

Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich!

It is with enormous sadness that I inform you that, last night, the Lord called unto Himself my most august mother, the Dowager Grand Duchess Leonida Georgievna.

Calling to mind our meetings from the time of our very first visits to Russia, and the constant support you have shown to our family, and also knowing of your efforts to preserve the legacy of all the eras of the centuries-long history of Russia, I know that your share my grief.

Be assured, dear Vladimir Vladimirovich, of my most sincere feelings and my wish that God should grant you His help in your service to our Fatherland.

H.I.H. Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna
Head of the Russian Imperial House
