The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, speaking at VK Fest, noted the "special world" created by the organizers. She also said that she is working on a song with rapper Ptakha (David Nureyev). According to her, the demo version of the song is already ready.

"This is really a collaboration with a Bird. Six months after he called, I answered, and we're getting somewhere. There was a preliminary demo about two weeks ago. Then keep an eye on him when he releases it. It's an amazing story," the diplomat said.

Zakharova admitted that she could not imagine such a thing, given the difference between Ptakha's work and her own.

"He still has rap, recitative. A peculiar, very individual manner. But it turned out that way," Zakharova added.
