anniversary of the largest all-Russian festival of young poetry named after
Leonid Filatov "Filatov Fest", founded by poet Vlad Malenko, and
timed to the 225th anniversary of the birth of Alexander Pushkin.
"Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin is the major prophet of
all Russia. He told us everything and voiced us from alpha to omega. He kept
saying that he wanted to be like everyone else and speak the language spoken by
the people, not some nobility. Doing "Filatov Fest" for ten years, we
are always focusing on him, just as Leonid Alexeyevich Filatov did. Thanks to
everyone who came here today," said Vlad Malenko, Merited Art Worker of
the Russian Federation, founder and artistic director of the Moscow Poets
Theater.

"All Pushkin's friends are friends among themselves
too. I am very happy to see people who love Pushkin and "Filatov
Fest" in this hall today. These people won, because young modern poetry
sounded for them today from this stage," said the host of the event, poet,
