On April 13 there was an evening of poetry with the poet Nikolai Zinoviev in the Russia Concert Hall. This event takes place every year, and because Zinoviev wrote a large number of songs for Russian pop starts, his evenings gather a rather impressive collection of participants. This time there were appearances by Kobzon, Karachentsev, Malinin, Lada Dance and some other artists. The performance was closed with the new song "Queen Fate" by Valerii Leontiev. Nikita Mikhalkov, who had been invited, did not make it (Nikolai Zinoviev wrote one of the songs for the film "Siberian Barber"). Decorations were designed by the artist Boris Krasnov, who depicted the famous "National Unity" fountain, which is in the VDNH park. The poet himself came dressed in all white.
