On 20 September, the National Centre RUSSIA hosted a high-profile screening of the motion picture "My Friend, the Cat, and Pushkin." The invited guest at the event was Adelia Zagrebina, a winner of the ninth season of the project "Voice. Children". The young singer shared her impressions of the new family film premiere with the press service of the National Centre RUSSIA.

"I really liked the movie. Special thanks to the actors. They were wonderful, just brilliant, and they played great. This is a story with a very deep meaning. Most of all, I liked the part where the characters worried about the lost pet. It was a very emotional moment. The rap part in the movie turned out to be quite good, too. Pushkin-style," Adelia Zagrebina shared.

The film "My Friend, the Cat, and Pushkin" tells a story of Milana, a Moscow schoolgirl who writes poetry but is afraid of speaking in public. A black cat, in whose body the soul of the young Pushkin dwells, becomes her unexpected companion on the path of discovery and overcoming. The film combines classics and modernity: the plot contains both references to "Eugene Onegin", and to rap battles, which are intelligible to today's schoolchildren. This is a film about family, friendship, creativity, and the ability to believe in oneself.

"Speaking of me, I'm already used to performing, I'm not afraid anymore. On the contrary, I get a lot of pleasure from it," the young singer said.

The guests of the premiere screening at the National Centre RUSSIA -- representatives of the film industry, artists, cultural figures, journalists, children and the other viewers, were the first to see the picture on the big screen. After the official event, graduates of the "Young Tour Guides School of Russia" conducted an exclusive tour of the interactive exposition "Journey through Russia" for young actors and guests.

"It's a big and beautiful space. This is my first time here, but I really like it. Thanks a lot to the organizers," Adelia Zagrebina said.

The main roles in the film were played by Yelizaveta Boyarskaya and Alisa Konashenkova. For People's Artist of Russia Yevgenia Dobrovolskaya, the role of Arina Rodionovna became one of the last in her life.

The film was created by the Marmot-Film company with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation and JSC "Channel One. Worldwide Network". The official nationwide release of the film is scheduled for 2 October 2025.
