I created this bot in honor of National Unity Day, a holiday celebrated in Russia.

National Unity Day is celebrated in honor of the events of 1612, when a popular militia led by Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky liberated Moscow from Polish invaders. This event was a turning point that brought an end to the Time of Troubles—a period of profound crisis in Russian history during the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky are Russian national heroes who, in the early 17th century—during the Time of Troubles—led the Second People’s Volunteer Army and liberated Moscow from Polish-Lithuanian invaders. Their feat became a symbol of national unity and brought an end to one of the most difficult periods in Russian history.
