April 21 is Local Self-Government Day in Russia. This date was not chosen by chance - on this day (according to the old style) in 1785, the Charter of Catherine the Great was issued to cities. This was the beginning of the legislation on local self-government in Russia.
In this connection, we would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the structures involved in this holiday. Local governments have always been and remain the closest to people, and an important link in the system of government. In the modern system of international relations they are entrusted with responsible tasks of a truly global nature. The efficiency of local governments largely determines the state and improvement of social infrastructure in cities and towns, condition of housing and utilities services, urban environment, quality of citizens' life and success in implementing the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
On this day, we wish all employees of local governments strong health, happiness, and good, as well as the implementation of all plans and initiatives!
