"Russian Beacons" — concert at the RUSSIA EXPO

Yevgeny Blinov and Roman Sorokin, artists of the Moscow Theater of Poets, presented a musical and poetic concert "Russian Beacons" to the guests of the Exposition.

"Our program "Russian Beacons" is named after the text of the same name by Vlad Malenko, which has now found a new life thanks to the song performed together with Grigory Leps and Yulia Chicherina. The people loved these lyrics. Today "Russian Beacons" are people who are on the southern borders of our Motherland, defending our country and its interests. They are, first of all, military men. Our program is mostly dedicated to them. All the texts performed today are written by the authors of the Vlad Malenko's Moscow Theater of Poets," noted poet, artist, playwright Roman Sorokin.

The guests of the Exposition heard author's poems and songs dedicated to Russia, its history and modern realities performed by the theater artists. A distinctive feature of the concert was a direct dialog between the audience and the artists.
