Three centuries on the guard of the law. The ensemble congratulated the employees of the Prosecutor's Office of the City of Moscow on the 300th anniversary of the Russian Prosecutor's Office

In the Russian state, where the highest value is the human being, one of the priorities is to protect the rights and freedoms of citizens. For 300 years, the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation has been carrying out the great mission of upholding the rule of law in our country. This January, the Russian Prosecutor's Office is celebrating a significant anniversary: On January 12, 1722, Emperor Peter I signed a Personal Decree to the Governing Senate establishing the main supervisory body of Russia.

Over the past 300 years, the Russian state has undergone many reforms, but the unique position of the prosecutor's office in the government structure remains unchanged. The history of the Russian prosecutor's office is inseparable from the history of the country. Its role in upholding the law and order in Russia cannot be overstated.

The solemn meeting dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the department was held on January 13, 2022, at the Moscow City Prosecutor's Office. The meeting was attended by employees of the Moscow City Prosecutor's Office and department veterans.

The Mayor of Moscow Sergey Semyonovich Sobyanin addressed the audience with words of welcome. He noted the steady and dynamic development of the capital in recent years, the decrease in crime rates, and the strengthening of public order and public safety. "In close cooperation with other law enforcement agencies, departments, and executive authorities, the Moscow Prosecutor's Office is successfully fulfilling its tasks in ensuring the rule of law in the capital," Sobyanin said. Thanking the prosecutors for their principled and professional attitude to their work, the Mayor of Moscow awarded the Deputy Prosecutor of the city Yuri Katasonov the Order of Merit for the City of Moscow, and also presented certificates, letters of gratitude and awards to a number of employees of the capital's prosecutor's office.

Moscow Prosecutor Denis Popov in his speech emphasized that today the fight against crimes in cyberspace comes to the fore. "The pandemic caused by the spread of COVID-19 has made significant adjustments to our work. In such difficult conditions, we were able to quickly restructure our work, successfully implemented and actively use modern digital technologies," said Denis Popov.

The Chairman of the Moscow City Duma Alexey Shaposhnikov thanked the employees of the capital's prosecutor's office for their fruitful cooperation with the deputies. "Together, we are solving the most important and complex tasks of improving city legislation, monitoring the rights of Muscovites, countering corruption, and developing civil society," Shaposhnikov said.

The Moscow Prosecutor's Office was also congratulated on its anniversary by the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, the Moscow City Duma, and the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation.

The solemn meeting dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the Prosecutor's Office of Russia ended with a performance by the Academic Ensemble of Song and Dance of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation, led by the Artistic Director and Chief Conductor, People's Artist of Russia, Major General Viktor Eliseev.

The performance by the renowned band began with the Moscow national anthem "My Dear Capital" (music by Isaac Dunayevsky, lyrics by Mark Lisyansky and Sergey Agranyan).

The timeless song "March of the Artillerymen" (music by Tikhon Khrennikov, lyrics by Viktor Gusev) from the Great Patriotic War was warmly received by the audience.

A real gift to the audience was the "Anthem of the Moscow Prosecutor's Office" performed by the Ensemble's choir (soloist - Honored Artist of the Republic of Dagestan Kirill Nikitin).

The audience was particularly impressed by the performance of the Ensemble's soloist, Honored Artist of Russia Natalia Eliseeva, who sang the lyrical song "What You Were..." (music by Isaac Dunayevsky, lyrics by Mikhail Isakovsky).
