Greeting from the Head of the Russian Imperial House H.I.H. Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna to the Assembly of the Russian Nobility, in connection with its 15-th anniversary

I send my heartfelt congratulations to the Russian nobility on the occasion of the 15-th anniversary of the founding the Assembly of the Russian Nobility.

Having honorably lived through many difficulties and haven proven its loyalty to the Fatherland and to Our House, the Assembly of the Russian Nobility continues, in accordance with my instructions, its service to the revival of traditional values among the Russian people. I especially appreciate your efforts to work together with the Russian Orthodox Church. I believe that the cooperative work of all institutions, without exception, that seek to preserve historical Russia are protected by God’s grace, are founded on mutual love and the abandonment of the display of all prejudice, and lead to the true renewal of the greatness and glory of our beloved Fatherland.

I wish all the participants of the anniversary Congress of the Assembly of Russian Nobility success and God’s help. I assure you all of my support for you.
