On November 4, a gala concert by a Congolese ensemble was held at the Russian House in the capital of the Republic of Congo in honor of Russia's national holiday, National Unity Day.
At the event, Ilyas Iskandarov, Ambassador of Russia to the Republic of Congo, delivered a congratulatory speech. The diplomat congratulated those gathered on National Unity Day and noted the importance of recognizing the power of unity in difficult times:
"Our people, regardless of their nationality or religion, feel the danger and disunity in their hearts. Therefore, in the most difficult times, we are ready to defend our Fatherland shoulder to shoulder. I wish the same unity and solidarity to the Congolese people, their leadership, and their government, so that they can also unite in defending their national interests and strengthening cooperation with Russia, which has repeatedly proven itself a loyal and reliable friend of the Congo."
Russian House Director Maria Fakhrutdinova also congratulated those present at the event and introduced the musical group "Brazza Band." The group was initially created at the Russian House and now plays at its concerts, drawing inspiration from Russian music.
The event was organized with the support of the international expert club GlobUs (https://t.me/globusexpert). Its founder Andrey Gromov emphasized the importance of celebrating National Unity Day, especially far from home:
"We were very happy to feel at home today, in this atmosphere of unity that reigned among our compatriots. Thanks to the leadership of the Russian House and the Embassy, we felt this very atmosphere of unity among representatives of various organizations, among different people. This is what unites us and makes us stronger. It is important that we continue traditions and remember holidays that have rich roots. We honor the rich heritage left to us by our ancestors."
The Russian House has been active in Brazzaville since 1968, strengthening humanitarian and cultural ties between Russia and the Congo. Hundreds of Congolese come there every year to learn Russian. The center organizes events aimed at popularizing the Russian language, history, and traditions—from introductions to national holidays and thematic lectures to film screenings and exhibitions.
