A concert in honor of the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the LPR was held at the Exposition
On May 12,
a concert "Lugansk Region - the Cradle of Donbass" was held in
Pavilion No. 75 in the Cultural Projects Zone. The cultural event was timed to
the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Lugansk People's Republic.
In a video
message, the head of the LPR Leonid Pasechnik reminded about a difficult and
challenging path the residents of the region had to go through in order to
become part of the Russian Federation.
"We have
determined our own future - to be with Russia. And all these years we defended
this choice. We went to our goal through a huge number of trials and losses. In
the fall of 2022, a new life of Lugansk region began - we returned home to the
friendly family of Russian regions. Today we are actively establishing a
peaceful life. I am sure that the next decade will mark a period of development
for our region, and we will be able to contribute to the prosperity of our
Motherland," Leonid Pasechnik said.
The folk
dance ensembles "Rhapsody" and "Zironka" from the city of
Lugansk performed before the guests of the Exposition. Through their creative
numbers, the artists showed the history and heritage of the LPR - from the
Lugansk region's contribution to the victory in the Great Patriotic War to the
miners' labor and folklore traditions.
The folk
dance ensemble "Rhapsody" was established in 1933. Its repertoire is
very diverse, art is inseparably connected to the present, and choreographic
canvases reflect the history of our city and its feats. In total, the
ensemble's repertoire includes more than 20 choreographic numbers: folk dances,
as well as lyrical, joking and other dances.
The folk
dance ensemble "Zironka" was founded in 1945. The repertoire of the
group consists of various choreographic compositions and is constantly
replenished with the best samples of national art. The collective not only
preserves the traditions and spirit of folk art, but also enriches them with
modern images and rhythms.
The lecture "Russian Architecture in the Global Context" took place at the National Centre RUSSIA on May 30.
On May 30, the declaration on the establishment of the International Association of Children's Organisations (IACO) was signed at the National Centre RUSSIA.
