Today, the Vietnam - Russia relationship has taken on the character of a "special solidarity relationship", overcoming the test of time and special political circumstances. During the most difficult years, at times when life and death were hanging by a thread, the Vietnamese people always received the sincere, righteous, and fraternal help of the Russian people in the cause of national liberation and nation building.
For the Russian people, President Ho Chi Minh played an important role in the liberation and construction of Vietnam, as well as in fostering the strong friendship between Vietnam and the former Soviet Union and the Russian Federation today. At President Ho Chi Minh's residence and workplace at the Presidential Palace today, precious historical documents and artifacts imbued with the Vietnam-Russia relationship are still preserved, along with familiar, everyday stories about his heart for Russia and the affection of Soviet Russia for beloved Uncle Ho of the Vietnamese people.
