Dear Russian Museum!

On behalf of the patriarch of the gardens of St. Petersburg I want to congratulate you on your anniversary. 125 years is a youth full of energy and opportunities. I had it in the Nikolaev era, and in ten years the emperor even presented me with a Porphyry vase. I wish you worthy gifts!

Yes, I digress. In the difficult 2000s, you took me under guardianship. Since then, thanks to your efforts, I have become prettier and remembered youth. Thanks for work.

I wish you to remain an energetic conductor of Russian art in the world, more visitors and the embodiment of all ideas.

Included in your complex is the Summer Garden.
