Dear friends,
I’m pleased to welcome all the guests, participants and organizers of the Seventeenth Spasskaya Tower International Military Tattoo.
The best military bands and creative teams from all over the world will once again come together on Red Square, in the very heart of Russia, to celebrate their shared passion for music and arts. A landmark in the global artistic landscape, the Spasskaya Tower Festival has steadfastly promoted the idea of national cultural cohesion while never straying away from its traditions.
This stunning show, which features music sketches by numerous international artists and is set against the backdrop of the Moscow Kremlin’s historic red brick walls and towers, highlights the triumph of mutual respect and benevolence as well as the ongoing connection between Russia and the international community.
The 2025 Festival run is especially noteworthy because it commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Great Patriotic War Victory and the memory of all the Defenders of the Motherland. It’s satisfying to see among the honored guests those who are valiantly upholding freedom and independence while honorably continuing the tradition of serving their nation.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of our company, and we are happy to continue to support the Festival. Over the past 25 years, Rosoboronexport has been devotedly defending Russia’s national interests, bolstering its resilience and safeguarding its historical and cultural legacy. The Spasskaya Tower Festival and our company are both equally committed to upholding peace, protecting sovereignty and preserving traditions that bring people together.
I extend my warmest regards to all the guests and participants on behalf of the company’s entire team and myself, and hope that they have a wonderful time and return home with a plethora of emotions and inspiration.
May the Spasskaya Tower Festival’s music sound like a tribute to peace, kindness and unwavering resilience.
Alexander Mikheev,
CEO of Rosoboronexport
