The large celebratory concert "Our Victory — For All Time" took place at the National Centre RUSSIA. It was dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

The event paid tribute to the heroes of the war years. That evening, performances were given for the audience, which included veterans of the Great Patriotic War, by renowned artists and ensembles: the choir of the A. V. Alexandrov Academic Song and Dance Ensemble of the Russian Army, the M. E. Pyatnitsky State Academic Russian Folk Choir, Sergei Volchkov, Polina Gagarina, Olga Kormukhina, Alexander Panayotov, ST, Alexei Petrukhin, Valentina Biryukova, Sergei Pavlovsky, Anna Bolshova and others. They performed songs from the wartime era, compositions by contemporary authors, as well as new creative collaborations specially created for this event.

After her performance, singer Polina Gagarina shared her emotions and impressions with the press service of the National Centre RUSSIA, and congratulated everyone on Victory Day.

"It’s a real miracle to see the veterans, and a great honour to perform for them. I saw many families with children — it is so important for them to hear these stories, to see and meet the veterans. These are wonderful encounters, thank you for organising such an event," said Polina Gagarina.

At the concert, the artist performed well-known songs such as "Somewhere Far Away" from the film "Seventeen Moments of Spring" and "Katyusha".

She also shared that another of her favourite wartime songs is "The Tenth Battalion." The singer noted that all compositions dedicated to the Great Patriotic War are grand, monumental works, filled with profound feelings, emotion and pain.

"I wholeheartedly congratulate everyone on Victory Day! This is a great holiday that we must remember, be thankful for, and pass on its memory from generation to generation," Polina Gagarina emphasised.

The concert "Our Victory — For All Time" at the National Centre RUSSIA gathered more than 2,000 spectators.
