ABDULATIPOV R.G.

Dear Ramazan Gadzhimuradovich!

Please accept my most sincere congratulations and prayerful wishes on the occasion of your 80th birthday.

Your life path serves as a vivid example of worthy service to Great Russia and your native Dagestan, to which you are devoted with all your heart.

An outstanding statesman, a prominent scientist, a man of encyclopedic knowledge, you still generously share your colossal life experience, helping many to understand their place and purpose in a rapidly changing and contradictory world. I am sincerely glad that it was you who found yourself at the helm of your native republic in the first years of the existence of the Makhachkala diocese, and I sincerely thank you for your constant support and the kind, truly fraternal attitude with which you treated and treat the Russian Orthodox Church and its children in Dagestan.

The temple and mosque, erected by your labors in the center of Makhachkala, have forever become symbols of the eternal friendship and unity of the peoples of the Land of Mountains, and it is remarkable that this course of the regional authorities remains unchanged.

On this joyful day for all of us, I wish you and your wife, your family and friends endless help from above in all good deeds, good health,...
