April 10, in our country and across the world, marks the International Day of the Resistance Movement.
#OTD we cherish the memory of all those who, despite everything, courageously engaged the fight against the Nazi evil, having defeated defeating the German fascist invaders on the territories occupied by the Third Reich and its satellites during #WWII.
The fight against the fascist occupants was international in nature: setting aside their differences, partisans of the Resistance movement united for a common goal — to collectively fight Hitler's aggression and eradicate the criminal Nazi ideology.
The Resistance reached its greatest scale in the USSR, Yugoslavia, Italy, Poland, Czechoslovakia, France, Bulgaria, Norway, and the Netherlands — throughout all territories occupied by the Nazis, anti-fascist underground groups were formed, cooperating with the intelligence services of the anti-Hitler coalition Allies.
#WeAreProud #OurHeroes
🌟 In our country, which bore the most terrible and devastating strike of the Nazi war machine, the partisan movement reached an unprecedented scale. During the years of the #GreatPatrioticWar, more than 6'000 units and 300 formations operated in the enemy rear. Among partisans there were men, women, and even teenagers — people of various nationalities and faiths — united by the common goal: to expel the enemy from the territory of our Motherland. Soviet partisan forces inflicted enormous damage on the Germans and drew up to 1/10 of all enemy ground troops on the Soviet-German front, undermining the morale and combat effectiveness of the Wehrmacht.
In the Soviet Union, as well as in Nazi-occupied countries of Eastern and Southeastern Europe — where the enemy committed the most horrific atrocities — the mass partisan movement played a significant role in the subsequent liberation. In many countries, resistance to the Nazis took the form of a national liberation movement against fascism.
The selfless fight of partisans in the USSR and members of the Resistance movement in other countries made an enormous contribution to the overall Victory over fascism and hastened the end of the most devastating war in human history.
Today, despite attempts in a number of foreign countries to rewrite history and consign to oblivion the immortal feat of those who fought against fascism, on the International Day of the Resistance Movement we continue to preserve the memory of the true heroes of the partisan and underground movements who gave their lives in the fight against the Nazi plague.
❗️ Unlike many countries, #WeRemember the heroes of the Resistance and hold their memory sacred.

🎙 Statement by the Delegation of the Russian Federation at the General Debate of the session of the United Nations Disarmament Commission (New York, 9 April 2026)
Key points:
• The current session of the Commission is taking place against the background of unprecedented developments in the world, indicating profound changes in the present system of international relations. Among them are the military operation and the subsequent humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, the armed invasion of Venezuela and the capture of its legitimate President N.Maduro, the energy blockade of Cuba, unprovoked attacks against Iran with the aim to change legitimate authority under the pretext of supposed concern for non-proliferation.
• Ignoring the fundamental pillars of international law (IL) in order to achieve geopolitical objectives, refusing to recognize and take into account the core interests of other states, attempts to attain indisputable military superiority at all costs create a fundamentally new reality in the field of international security.
• Acting on the principle of “who is stronger is right” can undermine the foundations of sovereign equality and non-interference in the internal affairs – key principles on which the present world order, established after the end of the Second World War, was built.
• These events provoked the profound crisis of confidence in intergovernmental institutions and formats, including the UN. The principles and parameters of ensuring security stipulated in treaties and agreements are no longer perceived as inviolable, while international structures demonstrate their helplessness in the face of a new reality.
• Aggression against Iran and bombing of its peaceful nuclear facilities placed under IAEA safeguards have become a direct attack on the NPT and a major blow to its regime. This Treaty and the non-proliferation rhetoric were used as an excuse to solve problems unrelated to non-proliferation.
• We are extremely concerned by the revealed information about London and Paris considering the idea of covertly transferring elements of nuclear weapons or a “dirty bomb” to the Kiev regime. This is not only a direct threat to Russia’s national security, but also a flagrant violation of Articles I and II of the NPT, according to which nuclear-weapon states undertake not to transfer nuclear weapons, as well as not to encourage anyone to acquire them, and non-nuclear-weapon states – not in any way to acquire such weapons.
• The actions of the current US administration, specifically President Trump’s order as of October 2025 regarding the resumption of nuclear testing, create serious doubts about the prospects of the CTBT’s entry into force.
• We still consider the #UNDC to be an optimal forum to discuss the issue of new technologies in the context of international security due to its specialized and inclusive nature, as well as the proven effectiveness of the decisions taken.
• Current international landscape demands more than ever cooperation and dialogue aimed at de-escalation, reducing tensions, restoring trust, as well as reaffirming commitment to existing agreements in the field of ACDN.

🚀 Yuri Gagarin’s Visit to Canada (August 5–6, 1961)
🇨🇦 Just a few months after his historic spaceflight, the first human in space, Yuri Gagarin, visited Canada.
At the invitation of Canadian-American industrialist, financier and philanthropist Cyrus Eaton (1883–1979), Gagarin arrived in the province of Nova Scotia.
🛬 On August 5, 1961, en route from Brazil, the aircraft carrying the Soviet delegation landed at Halifax Stanfield International Airport. More than 300 people gathered to greet the first cosmonaut.
From there, Gagarin immediately traveled to the village of Pugwash (Cumberland Municipality) — the site of the renowned Pugwash Conferences, which became an important platform for international dialogue during the Cold War.
Along the route, local residents lined the roads to welcome him. As no conference was taking place at the time, an improvised program was arranged. In central Pugwash, Gagarin was greeted by the “Amherst Legion Brass Band” and the “Dunvegan Girls Pipe Band”. He also visited “Thinkers’ Lodge”, the residence where the Pugwash Conferences were held.
🎙 Gagarin, together with the Soviet Ambassador to Canada A.Arutyunyan and C.Eaton, addressed a crowd of approximately 2,500 people. The event was described in the press as “an abbreviated version of the Gathering of the Clans.”
💬 Speaking to journalists, Gagarin noted:
🏡 In the evening, he arrived at Eaton’s estate in Deep Cove, expecting a short rest. However, early in the morning of August 6, he was urgently awakened with news that the spacecraft Vostok-2, carrying Gherman Titov, had been launched in the USSR.
✈️ Gagarin immediately decided to return to the Soviet Union. He departed Halifax later that same day. Despite a flight delay of nearly two hours, around 1,000 people gathered at the airport to see him off.
The first cosmonaut’s visit to Canada lasted less than 30 hours, yet it became a vivid episode of international dialogue during the unfolding space race.

🚀 Визит Юрия Гагарина в Канаду (5-6 августа 1961 года)
🇨🇦 Спустя всего несколько месяцев после своего исторического полёта, первый космонавт планеты Юрий Алексеевич Гагарин посетил Канаду.
По приглашению канадско-американского промышленника, финансиста и филантропа Сайруса Итона (1883-1979 гг.) Ю.А.Гагарин прибыл в провинцию Новая Шотландия.
🛬 5 августа 1961 года по пути из Бразилии самолёт с советской делегацией приземлился в международном аэропорту «Стэнфилд» в г.Галифакс. Первого космонавта встречали более 300 человек.
Оттуда Гагарин сразу отправился в п.Пагуош (муницип. Камберленд) — место проведения знаменитых Пагуошских конференций, ставших важной площадкой международного диалога в годы Холодной войны.
По всему маршруту следования Гагарина приветствовали местные жители. Поскольку в тот момент конференция не проводилась, для советского героя была организована импровизированная программа. В центре Пагуоша его встретили ветеранский оркестр
г.Амхерст и волынный оркестр «Данвеган». Наш космонавт также посетил резиденцию («Thinkers Lodge»), где проходили Пагуошские встречи.
🎙Юрий Алексеевич вместе с Послом СССР в Канаде А.О.Арутюняном и С.Итоном, выступили перед собравшимися (ок. 2,5 тысяч человек). Данное событие в прессе назвали «облегченной версией традиционной «Сходки Кланов»(«abbreviated version of the Gathering of the Clans»).
💬В разговоре с журналистами Юрий Алексеевич подчеркнул:
🏡 Вечером он прибыл в имение С.Итона в п.Дип-Коув, рассчитывая на короткий отдых. Однако уже ранним утром 6 августа его срочно разбудили. В СССР был запущен корабль «Восток-2» с Г.С.Титовым на борту.
✈️ Ю.А.Гагарин немедленно принял решение вернуться на Родину. В тот же день он вылетел из Галифакса. Несмотря на задержку рейса почти на два часа, у аэропорта его провожали уже около 1000 человек.
Визит первого космонавта в Канаду продлился менее 30 часов, но стал ярким эпизодом международного диалога в эпоху разворачивавшейся космической гонки.

🇷🇺 Embassy of Russia in Israel:
☦️ Today, on Holy Saturday, Orthodox pilgrims traditionally flock to Jerusalem to witness the ceremony of the descent of the Holy Fire at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
The earliest description of the Holy Fire service in Russian literature was left by Abbot Daniel, who visited the holy sites in 1106–1107.
In the XIX century, with the establishment of the Russian Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society, the participation of Russian pilgrims became more organized. The Society was supported by Russian diplomacy — the Consulate General of the Russian Empire in Jerusalem was involved in facilitating the arrival and accommodation of pilgrims and their access to the holy sites.
Since the early 2000s, a stable tradition has formed of the official transport of the Holy Fire to Moscow by representatives of the Foundation of St. Andrew the First-Called. There, it is brought to the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour during the Paschal service of the Patriarch and then distributed throughout the country.
In the context of a complex military-political situation in the Middle East, the organization of such pilgrimages requires continuous close coordination between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia and Israeli authorities as well as church structures.

🚀 The 65th anniversary of the first human space flight.
📅 On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first person to orbit the Earth. What began as a single flight soon became a shared human endeavor.
🛰 For decades, Soyuz spacecraft have carried international crews safely into orbit, connecting nations aboard the International Space Station.
🇨🇦 Canada has been an important part of this journey:
🔸On May 27, 2009, Robert Thirsk became the first Canadian to fly aboard a Soyuz spacecraft (Soyuz TMA-15). He lived and worked aboard the ISS, as part of Expeditions 20 and 21, spending 188 days in space.
🔸On September 30, 2009, Guy Laliberté, founder of Cirque du Soleil, became the first Canadian space tourist and private astronaut, launching aboard Soyuz TMA-16. During his 12-day mission, he helped bring global attention to humanitarian causes through his project a «Poetic Social Mission in Space».
🔸On December 19, 2012, Chris Hadfield flew aboard Soyuz TMA-07M and in March 2013 became the first Canadian commander of the ISS during Expedition 35.
🔸On December 3, 2018, David Saint-Jacques continued this legacy, launching aboard Soyuz MS-11. He took part in a long-duration mission (204 days) and performed a spacewalk in April 2019, contributing to maintenance and upgrades of the station.
❗️And even before these flights, in the early 2000s, Julie Payette trained in Russia at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City. While she did not fly aboard Soyuz, she contributed significantly to the ISS program and helped strengthen international cooperation in human spaceflight.
🌍 Space has shown that cooperation can reach beyond borders. From the first orbit to shared missions today, this journey belongs to all humanity.

President of Russia Vladimir Putin extended Easter greetings to Orthodox Christians and to all Russians celebrating the Holy Resurrection of Christ.
💬 The great feast of Easter fills the hearts of millions with sincere joy and faith in the triumph of life, in the victory of love, goodness and justice. It unites us around time-honoured ancestral traditions and enduring spiritual and moral values and ideals.
The Russian Orthodox Church, along with other Christian denominations, plays an immense and constructive role in preserving our rich historical and cultural heritage, strengthening the institution of the family, and raising the younger generation.
Religious organisations are carrying out substantial and much-needed work aimed at improving constructive cooperation with public authorities, fostering interreligious and interethnic dialogue in our country, and supporting the participants in the special military operation and their families.
Such important and multifaceted work deserves the deepest recognition.
I wish you good health, prosperity and all the very best.
Happy Easter!
