- Graduates greeted with shouts of "Russia!" a solemn salute at the Scarlet Sails festival


On June 29, graduates of Russian schools greeted with shouts of "Russia!" a solemn salute at the Scarlet Sails festival.
"I'm in shock. The fireworks are beautiful. <...> The main thing is that everyone is cheerful. It's a very large-scale celebration. Unforgettable emotions. I will remember this graduation forever," Mark, a participant in the celebration, told Izvestia.
According to the student, the passage of the brig Rossiya, whose sails are painted scarlet, called out to him special emotions.
The main alumni celebration "Scarlet Sails" was held in St. Petersburg on the night of June 29. The ceremony began with a welcoming speech by the Governor of St. Petersburg, Alexander Beglov. And the band "5UTRA" opened the festive concert of the event.
The evening culminated with the passage of the brig Rossiya along the Neva River under scarlet sails and the volleys of real Katyusha launchers (BM-13), which are part of the water and pyrotechnic show of the holiday.
Performers Zara, Bearwolf, Akmal', The 5UTRA group, The Hatters, Agatha Christie and Ivanushki International performed at the event. The headliner this year was People's Artist of Russia Nadezhda Kadysheva.
The Scarlet Sails holiday was revived in 2005 after a long-term hiatus on the initiative of ROSSIYA Joint Stock Bank, the Government of St. Petersburg and Channel Five.
