Vladimir Putin sent his greetings to participants, organisers and guests of the 10th Dobrovideniye International Folk Song Festival, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
The message reads, in part:
“By uniting talented performers and folk bands from across the Russian regions, your remarkable project plays a vital role in safeguarding the country’s rich traditions of folk art and our unique historical, cultural, and spiritual heritage. It is especially worthy of noting that participants and laureates of the festival actively support the heroes of the special military operation: they perform as part of frontline concert brigades and carry out other meaningful patriotic and humanitarian initiatives.
I firmly believe that vibrant and memorable public endeavours such as your forum are important at all times. They help to unite generations and help educate young people.”
