On June 6, the birthday of Russian poet Alexander Pushkin, the International RUSSIA EXPO hosted a music and poetry concert "Filatov Fest. For Pushkin".

The music and poetry gala concert was dedicated to the tenth 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.
