The nominal star of the People's Artist of Russia Y. Antonov was lit in Vitebsk

The award of the nominal star means that its owner became the recipient of the special presidential award "Through art towards peace and mutual understanding". According to tradition, the artist received it from the hands of the President at the opening ceremony of the XXXIV Slavianski Bazaar. The name of the legend of the Soviet and Russian stage is inscribed in the annals of the International Arts Festival "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk" for a reason: the artist performed at its venues for many years. Belarusian viewers are always looking forward to the arrival of their favorite performer.
