«Dear Organizing Committee!
First of all, we would like to express our gratitude for the organisation and holding of a grandiose linguistic event of international (Eurasian) scale in the Russian Federation! It is very happy to realise the support of events in the humanitarian sphere by the Government of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. This was noted by both Russian and foreign participants.
Any event is a lot of trouble, but an event of this level is even more trouble.
Special thanks for the variety of content and forms of the congress programme.
We are very grateful that absolutely all our requests and wishes were taken into account, it is very important and valuable, as we always want to improve everything in the process.
Special thanks to Yulia V. Mazurova, who answered all our questions in an unusually prompt manner and was always available 24/7, I bow to her, as in such large events you often feel like a speck in the universe in correspondence with the organising committee, and here I felt protected.
Many thanks to all the organisers of our round table at the Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, where we were able to create all the technical conditions for accommodation, audio/video, food, parking, etc. We were surrounded by care and attention. We were surrounded by care and attention.
From our side we tried to work as productively as possible on the announced programme, to create a warm, creative and favourable scientific atmosphere of reports, speeches and discussion.
We believe that we have successfully coped with the set tasks, and we hope to continue co-operation in future congresses, as the round table showed the relevance, novelty, theoretical and practical significance and prospects of the declared interdisciplinary problems, as well as a keen interest in it among a diverse audience.
With best wishes,

Olga Alexandrovna Turbina (Institute of Linguistics and International Communications, South Ural State University):
«Deeply respected Andrey Alexandrovich!
I thank you once again for the holiday that you have given to everyone who is really engaged in the science of linguistics.
If the organizers of the Congress, headed by you, decide to honor the journal “Bulletin of SUSU” (series “Linguistics”) and send some materials for publication in it, we are ready to accept them. There are 80 pages in the issue, which we can fully occupy with the materials of the Congress.
Best regards,

Krassimira A. Petrova (Sofia University):
«Dear colleagues!
Many thanks to all, all the organisers!
Truly titanic efforts of the organisers to gather the colour of Russian linguistics, interesting scientists from other countries!
Thank you for the opportunity to listen to leading experts, to discuss current topics and directions of future research, to see old acquaintances, to establish contacts with new ones…. For the opportunity to join this professional friendly atmosphere even remotely, to plunge into the scientific spirit of discussions.
I bow to all of you for the enormous labour and kind soul that you have put into this work!
From the bottom of my heart, as a token of gratitude, I give you all a flower from our balcony, which in Bulgarian is called ZDRAVETS — fragrant geranium, because we give leaves as a token of sincere wishes for HEALTH before a road trip or a bunch of flower leaves tied with a red string before an important event with a wish for success. These are such cross-cultural peculiarities…
‘Zdravets’ usually blooms in pink, but there is also a very rare species — in white. We brought it from a village in the south of Bulgaria, it was growing in the yard of the old lady we stayed with.
With wishes for health, peace of mind and every success,
Best regards,
Krassimira Petrova»

«Dear Congress Organizing Committee,
I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude to you and your team for organizing the First Eurasian Congress of Linguists, held in Moscow from December 9-13. I had the privilege of attending the event and was impressed by the exceptional arrangements, engaging speakers, and stimulating discussions.
The congress provided a valuable platform for networking, learning, and sharing knowledge with fellow professionals. I appreciated the opportunity to attend the cultural events and visit some of Moscow’s most interesting and beautiful sites.
Please extend my thanks to all the speakers, moderators, and volunteers who contributed to the success of the event. Your dedication and hard work did not go unnoticed.
Once again, thank you for a memorable and enriching experience. I look forward to future events organized by your team.

Elena A. Kryukova (Tomsk State Pedagogical University):
«Dear Congress organisers!
Yesterday many words of gratitude were said from the stage and personally to the individual organisers, but I would like once again to testify in writing my impressions and those of my colleagues from Tomsk.
I think all the participants, not only us, were impressed by the scale of the event in all respects: spatially (all continents except Antarctica were covered, all regions of Russia were represented, languages from the Far North to hot Africa were covered, the scientific platforms could not fit on the territory of a huge hotel and spilled out onto the streets of Moscow and other platforms) and temporally (we considered the current state of languages, projected the future and tried to look into the distant past).
It is important to note that the organisers made sure that after the rich programme the participants could have refreshments, rest comfortably in cosy rooms and gain strength for further work.
Special thanks for the atmosphere of friendliness and creative interaction, for the platform, where we met many familiar faces and no less new ones! We return home with new ideas, new strength to continue our research and prepare for new meetings!
With respect,
Elena Krukova»

«Dear Andrey Alexandrovich, dear Julia Viktorovna, dear colleagues!
On these festive days, communicating with my colleagues and friends, I tell them about our congress and share the link to the video recordings. I receive words of surprise and admiration in response, but one response in particular moved me and made me feel proud of our Institute once again. It was written by an acquaintance of mine, a doctoral student at Herzen (St. Petersburg), and I am forwarding his words to you:
«What an event…! No words. How your colleagues and you managed to unite almost 50 countries under the present political conditions is a mystery. Excellent. Thank you.»
Well, there is no mystery for us — we were just doing our job.
Your E. Yakovenko»
