More than a million people from 60 countries of the world performed the legendary song of David Tukhmanov to the poems of the poet-front-line soldier Vladimir Kharitonov “Victory Day”. Everyone was invited to sing it in the language that seemed closer and more native to him. As a result, the song was performed in one hundred languages of the peoples of Russia and the world.
Among the organizers and main participants of the project were famous musicians and performers. Among them are Emir Kusturica, Nadezhda Babkina, Igor Butman, Diana Gurtskaya and others. People's Artist of Russia Lev Leshchenko launched a large-scale campaign.
“The victory was forged by people of all countries, all nationalities, - the people's artist said. - And today I would very much like us to sing a wonderful song by David Tukhmanov and the poet Vladimir Kharitonov “Victory Day” in all our native languages”.
All videos recorded during the campaign can be seen on the official website of the project.

They tell you about their life, their youth, that they gave you this peaceful and happy life,” - Igor Zavyalov, Chairman of the Council of Veterans of Russian compatriots in Bulgaria, a resident of the besieged Leningrad, addressed the younger generation.
