Russian President Vladimir Putin laid flowers at a monument on Moscow's Red Square on Wednesday to mark National Unity Day.
Putin, along with a group of army cadets, laid red flowers at the memorial to Russian Duke Dmitry Pozharsky and merchant Kozma Minin, who led a victorious revolt against Polish rulers in Moscow in 1612.
The Russian leader stayed behind for a brief chat with the cadets before posing for a photograph with them
Putin instituted the holiday in 2005 to replace the annual Soviet-era celebration of the Bolshevik revolution.
