Diaghilev, after whom the festival in Perm is named, paid great attention to
the ties between different generations of artists, performers and musicians.
During the summer months of 1908-1910, the impressario organized the famous
entreprise "Russian Seasons" in Paris with new Russian ballets in the
program. "Seasons" brought incredible success to Russian music and
theater art all over the world.

has been held as part of the Diaghilev Arts Festival. Over the years, more than
400 people have taken part in it, many of whom today already make up not only
the future but also the present of Russian culture.
