The ensemble took part in a concert dedicated to the Day of the Transport Worker

Every year on November 20, our country celebrates Transport Worker's Day. The holiday was established by the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation on August 10, 2020.

This date was chosen for a reason: on November 20, 1809, Emperor Alexander I established the Department of Water and Land Communications, Russia's first unified government agency responsible for all forms of transportation.

On this day, we honor the workers of all types of transport: rail, road, air, sea, river, and subway. Thanks to their selfless work, the world becomes closer and more accessible.

Employees and veterans of the transport industry, as well as participants of the 19th International Forum and exhibition Transport of Russia, were congratulated by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin on their professional holiday. In the congratulation, published on the Kremlin website, the Head of State emphasized that the transport complex plays a strategically important role in the life of our country. He called the construction and modernization of infrastructure, digitalization and renewal of public transport, unconditional priorities of the industry.

On Transport Workers' Day, November 20, 2025, a gala event and a festive concert were held at the State Kremlin Palace.
