I want to thank the Mayor who participates as an actor, it gives to the event the special status”, said before the concert Alexander Sladkovsky.

However, externally the Mayor looked calm and confident.
“We will certainly build it!”
Before the concert the hall was overcrowded. People donated money and put it in a special box.
