He received a ticket for his achievements. During this shift, I learned to play the DJ console, which helped me a lot in the battle, because our squad took first place. I was in a professional DJ squad, and I think this is the best profile! As part of the “Artek Star” competition, I showed an unusual style of playing the guitar — fingerstyle. I think that what helped me win was my self-confidence, the ability to work in public and talk about my favorite business with passion. Of course, what I remember most about my shift was the battle of the DJs. During this shift, Artek became my second home. I wish Artek residents to be themselves, get to know everyone and find new friends,” Ruslan noted.

At the farewell party, Artek residents recalled the most striking events of the shift, which reflected such trends as patriotism, strong family, unity of the peoples of Russia, collectivism and other values.
