📚 1 September is more than just the first day of autumn in Russia — it is Knowledge Day, a celebration that marks the beginning of the new school year. Today, more than 18 million children across the country — and in Russian schools abroad — return to classrooms after summer break.
The holiday carries deep cultural weight with rituals shaped by decades of history and uniting generations of students. On this day pupils wear crisp uniforms, teachers are greeted with bouquets of flowers and families gather to witness the "first bell" ceremony, where older students symbolically guide the youngest into their new life of study. For many, it is both a farewell to summer and a celebration of learning.
This morning the Russian Embassy School in London – one of the oldest institutions of the Russian Foreign Ministry in Europe, founded in 1954 – held its own festive gathering.
Minister-Counsellor Vasily Tsyganov conveyed his congratulations to the teachers, pupils and their parents on this significant occasion, offering warm wishes for success and good fortune in the year ahead. He also expressed gratitude to the teaching staff for their vital contribution to education and the patriotic upbringing of the youth.

🎆 While London comes alive with the vibrant colours and rhythms of the Notting Hill Carnival, Moscow offers its own grand celebration of music and culture on Red Square. The International Military Music Festival Spasskaya Tower has returned for its 17th edition…
🎶 Moscow wrapped up its summer with a spectacle like no other: the 17th International Military Music Festival Spasskaya Tower.
From 22 to 31 August, Red Square became a stage for over 1,500 performers from across the globe — from Italy to Zimbabwe, Mongolia to the UAE — alongside some of Russia's finest ensembles and voices.
Each day, thousands filled the stands to witness a dazzling blend of military bands, folk traditions, dance and song.
This year's edition paid tribute to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, honouring the memory of past heroes while saluting those defending their homeland today.
Since its debut in 2006, the festival has grown into a true must-see in Moscow's late-summer calendar, offering a vibrant mix of pageantry, history and sound.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov commented on the outcomes of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Tianjin followed by the SCO Plus meeting:
💬 A substantive discussion took place, which clearly demonstrated through the lens of various initiatives that the movement is directed toward the formation of a multipolar world.
Western countries are attempting to obstruct this process. In order to preserve their dominance, they resort not to dialogue or fair competition, but to direct blackmail, pressure, and sanctions. We are witnessing the abuse of the dollar's role in global affairs and the US waging tariff wars against virtually everyone else.
The general consensus was that such actions have nothing to do with defending the West's legitimate rights in the global economy and politics but serve merely as instruments of suppressing competitors. It is obvious to all that these competitors have not only grown stronger, but in many areas are already surpassing the historical collective West.
☝️ The main outcome of the SCO and SCO Plus summits is the shared determination to uphold our rights, without yielding to provocations, in full compliance with international law, the UN Charter, and the principles of the international monetary, financial and trade systems — the very principles once promoted by the West itself.
A number of initiatives were also put forward, including those by Chinese President Xi Jinping, relating to global governance reform, the development of a green economy, and cooperation in high technologies, including artificial intelligence.
All of these proposals have been noted and will be further considered within the SCO framework as the chairmanship passes to Kyrgyzstan as of tomorrow.
