On behalf of the State Duma of Tomsk Oblast I extend to you my heartfelt wishes of merry Christmas and a Happy New Year – the most loved public holidays which bring us hope for a better future and optimism!

Over the expiring year we became more experienced and wise and the festive period is a perfect time for summing up and planning for the future.

I wish you to overcome with dignity these challenging times and keep all the best that was created before! No crises can prevent us from being faithful, loyal, and devoted to our loved ones, being compassionate and forgiving!

I wish you and your families peace, happiness and good health!

Boris Maltsev
Speaker of the State Duma of Tomsk Oblast
