Holiday of seekers, pioneers and real men! Alexander Shadrikov congratulated geologists on their professional holiday
Dear geologists, geophysicists, geodisists, topographers, scientists, miners - all those who are involved in the geological study of the subsoil! Congratulations on your professional holiday - Geologist's Day! This hard work is chosen only at the call of the heart and soul. After all, a geologist is not only a profession, but also a true vocation for those who are ready to overcome any difficulties for the sake of new discoveries. Probably, no one knows our beautiful land as well as geologists who have traveled thousands of kilometers across it, sorted through tons of rock and made hundreds of discoveries. Your work is hard work, requiring constant expeditions, deep scientific knowledge, patience and determination. Special words of gratitude go to the veterans of the industry, who helped to strengthen the economic power of the country, and whose traditions are still kept by today's representatives of this profession. And even though today geologists have all the advanced technologies and equipment in their arsenal, this profession can rightfully be called heroic. I want to thank all geologists for their high professionalism and courage. With all my heart I wish you good health, easy routes and new discoveries!
