Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated the Russian people on the Day of Spring and Labor.
"This May Day holiday is a wonderful, beautiful day. We always speak of it as the holiday celebrating spring and labor. What can be more wonderful than work, especially if it is a job you like? On your behalf, let me congratulate not just all the people here today, not just the recipients of the medals, but all people engaged in labor, all who make their contribution to our country’s development and strength," RIA Novosti cited him as saying.
