In the first hour of the site’s operation, a line of people lined up at the book crossing point. They brought books by Pushkin, Chekhov, Tolstoy, Bulgakov, Lermontov, Akhmatov and Brodsky. Everything collected will be sent to the library funds of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.
“We brought the classics – Pushkin. Here are poems and poems, the novel “Eugene Onegin”. The home library was full of good books. Therefore, we decided to join the action and at least bring something to help. We have books, but not in the Zaporizhzhia region, the libraries were burned there,” says three girls from Donetsk.
“I brought a book by Lady Macbeth Nikolai Leskov from the Mtsensk Region, it is a tragic and beautiful work,” says a festival attendee from the Perm Region.
“And I have Griboyedov’s Saltykov-Shchedrin “History of a City” and “Wow from Wit”. I love Russian classics and collect my own home library. I decided to share some of the collection,” says another participant in the action from the Bryansk region.
“Here they not only enjoy the beautiful Crimea and music, but also spend time consciously. 357 people from 71 regions of Russia and Donbass came to #MYVMESTE platform.
