The message reads, in part:
“It is gratifying that your interesting and truly amazing international creative project, conceived by outstanding musician Vadim Repin, is being successfully implemented. Bringing together stars and talented youth from Russia and many foreign countries at its theatres and concert venues, it gives the people in Siberian cities the joy of witnessing real and inspired art.
I am convinced that the current Trans-Siberian Art Festival will fully meet the expectations of the most demanding public, attract many participants and guests, and will be remembered for its kind and positive atmosphere.”
