They left us a rich heritage, which we can rightfully be proud of! But pride in the past is only a starting point. True strength is in the desire to surpass what has been achieved, in the desire to make a contribution to the future. Believe in yourself, in your potential, in the power of Russian science and engineering! Go forward, to new heights, for the benefit of the city and the country!”
