Nadezhda Babkina at the RUSSIA EXPO: "Crimea is a place of strength for me"

People's Artist of Russia, founder and artistic director of the vocal ensemble "Russian Song" Nadezhda Babkina shared her opinion on the transformations in infrastructure in Crimea and noted the unifying role of the Russian language in the Republic.

"Crimea for me is a place of strength, which is essential for every person. I visit Crimea every year and observe the changes, the direction the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol are moving. As the people patiently realize that in this situation nothing happens quickly - it is necessary to move forward systematically, with precise steps. There are changes. We are all waiting for the airport to open. Good roads have appeared, houses, schools, music institutions are being built. I see what attitude to national traditions of different peoples there is on the peninsula, but we all communicate in Russian. And this is a unifying part of our multinational country: it makes all the peoples and traditions that live in our country united," Nadezhda Babkina emphasized.
