An appeal of President of the Chief Militaries Club of the RF
Anatoliy Sergeevich Kulikov
The Chief Militaries Club of the RF was set up under the support of the President of the RF and it unites chief officers of our country.
The Club has been established as a social organization and took a worthy place in a system of patriotic education, consolidation and development of the Russian society, solutions of international problems.
Members of the Club who are still doing military service and also who were transferred to the reserve, assume as a basis of their work main principles of the Club, which are as follows: nationality, patriotism, spirituality. Thousands of retired commanders are ready to continue bringing benefit to their government in a different quality.
Spending their best years to their service to the Motherland, today they continue to work in legislative and executive governmental bodies, contribute to consolidation of international security and actively participate in realization of a governmental program “Patriotic education”.
The Club assists in realization of many, but unfortunately not all social problems. Veterans commanders, undoubtedly, are worthy of more attention as from the side of the government, but also from the side of the Russian society and business.
I wish all who take an interest, fruitful cooperation with the Chief Militaries Club of the RF for the benefit of our Motherland”.
