"It is important for all generations to be united" — singer Khabib at the National Centre RUSSIA
At the National Centre RUSSIA, Russian singer Khabib
congratulated guests on Victory Day and shared his thoughts on how culture
helps strengthen the connection between generations and keep the lessons of the
past alive.
"Victory Day is a great holiday that unites many
nationalities and peoples, because everyone fought against fascism. It is very
important that all generations are united on this day: adults, children,
grandmothers, grandfathers, grandchildren, brothers and sisters. And, of
course, the most important thing is that we, as artists, can pass the history
of the war on to young people through songs and through such wonderful events
as the performance 'Soldiers’ Dreams'," Khabib said.
A piece titled "The Road to Berlin" was performed
with Khabib’s participation in the historical performance based on wartime
chronicles "Soldiers’ Dreams". It tells the story of three war
correspondents, played by People’s Artist of Russia Alexander Pashutin and drama
actors Amadu Mamadakov and Sergei Belov. The song, written in 1945 to lyrics by
Yevgeny Dolmatovsky and music by Mark Fradkin, became a symbol of the
victorious offensive of the Red Army. In the performance, it was accompanied by
a scene of reaching the state border and the solemn replacement of the border
post, symbolising the inviolability of the frontiers.
