79 years since the liberation of Leningrad

We will forever cherish the courage and heroism of the city's residents and its defender. We sincerely wish you well-being and health.

Boris Eifman shared his memories. As the choreographer said, he was born in the post-war year, and a special emotional attitude to the tragic events of the Great Patriotic War is embedded in him at the genetic level. He recalled how important his visit to Leningrad was for him. When Eifman found himself in the city, he was imbued with its strict atmosphere, in which the grief of the siege years was frozen forever. He communicated with people who survived this terrible time. For the choreographer, the tragedy of the siege is not just a mournful page in history - it is a living pain.
