"A huge contribution to this victory at the PFKI competition was made by the Irkutsk TYZ named after A. Vampilov, who is the initiator and organizer of the festival. The project was supported by the regional Ministry of Culture, as well as the Irkutsk Oil Company, which acted as a partner of the project and will provide additional funding. In conclusion, I would like to once again express my gratitude to the team of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives for their support and trust!
