To the Administration and the residents of Snezhinsk

Dear Friends,

I would like to congratulate you on the 50th anniversary of Snezhinsk. Your city can be proud of its glorious history and great contribution to the development of the defense, economic and intellectual potential of our country. It has been growing simultaneously with one of the biggest nuclear centers of Russia. Snezhinsk has always been a big research center: many outstanding scientists have worked and made historic discoveries here.

I am convinced that the residents of Snezhinsk and the employees of the All-Russian Research Institute of Technical Physics will preserve and develop the best traditions of their predecessors.

I wish you success, happiness, health and welfare.
