Subsequent to the recent attacks
in Paris Russia sent a
puppy to France in support, in solidarity against terrorism.
The puppy - named Dobrynya is
intended to replace French police dog Diesel, who was killed during an
anti-terrorism raid in Paris in the days after the attacks.
There were 130 people
killed and hundreds more injured in the attacks on various venues in Paris on
13 November.
In a letter posted on the
ministry's Facebook page, the Russian minister for internal affairs Vladimir
Kolokoltsez wrote to his French counterpart Bernard Cazeneuve, offering the
young canine as "confirmation of our solidarity with the French police in
these troubled days".
Dobrynya was the maternal
uncle and tutor of Russian leader Vladimir the Great and was later a hero and
knight in Russian folklore, known as "the personification of strength,
kindness, bravery and selflessness".
