A Message from the Head of the Russian Imperial House, Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna, on the Occasion of the 600-th Anniversary of the Founding of the City of Bendery (Moldova)

I send my heartfelt greetings to the residents of the city of Bendery on the occasion of the celebration of the 600-th anniversary of its founding.

I was enormously gratified to learn that this anniversary would be marked by the completion of an enormous project that would commemorate for all time fallen Russian soldiers—representatives of all the peoples of Russia who have given their lives for their Great Fatherland and for freedom and for the sake of your entire region.

Unfortunately, circumstances do not permit me to be with you during these celebrations in Bendery, but I am with you in spirit and in prayer.

My most August Mother, the Dowager Grand Duchess Leonida Georgievna, and my son and heir, Grand Duke Georgii Mikhailovich, join me in sending to you these greetings.

Wishing you all God’s help and assuring you of my genuine and continuing favor, 

H.I.H. Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna
