To the staff of the International Center of the Roerichs
I am happy to congratulate you on the 20th anniversary of the International Center of the Roerichs.
During these years it gained wide popularity in Russia and abroad. The center conducts large-scale work on studying the rich heritage of the Roerichs. A permanent exhibition and traveling exhibitions acquaint visitors with the oeuvres, research and social activities of the famous family.
Your humanitarian and enlightening actions, competitions of your artists are very popular. Honored public recognition was received by the projects of protecting cultural monuments, which the Center implements jointly with the UN.
I wish you new successes, prosperity and all the best!
