CHRIST IS RISEN!
I wish to send my warmest greetings to the organizers and participants of the academic international conference “Cultural Heritage and Spiritual Values in Transnistrian Society,” which is being held in the Transnistrian Moldavian Republic with the support of the Tiraspol and Dubossary Eparchy of the Russian Orthodox Church.
I also wish to extend my deepest thanks for the respect you are showing for the memory of my Imperial ancestors and their advisors, who made important contributions to your region and who worked tirelessly for the good of our common homeland. I appreciate enormously how you have included their efforts and achievements in your general attempt to link the historical and ancient traditions of our peoples with modern society.
I hope that this conference produces fruitful discussions, advances mutual understanding, and generates new research into this important topic.
My son and heir, Grand Duke George of Russia, also sends his greetings to you all.
God bless you!
