Vladimir Putin sent greetings to the participants, organisers, and guests of the 18th Winter International Arts Festival in Sochi.
The message reads, in part:
“This vibrant, remarkable, and in many ways unique project has been a highlight of Sochi’s cultural scene and a treasure for our entire country for many years. Founded at the initiative of Yury Bashmet, it offers the audience the joy of experiencing genuine art, showcasing the work of renowned Russian and international artists, as well as emerging talents. Moreover, the festival is rightfully recognised for its educational and enlightening initiatives, dedicated to supporting young talents and preserving our rich cultural and spiritual traditions.
I am confident that this year’s festival programme will meet the expectations of enthusiasts of music, theatre, opera, and dance, leaving them with the warmest and unforgettable memories.”
