But, for example, a couple of years ago we talked about the eradication of anglicisms, and today a corresponding law has been adopted at the federal level. Today the festival takes place in difficult conditions for the Russian world. We need to win the unfolding confrontation. At the festival we will discuss the future of our civilization and other topical issues. We remember that at first there was a wordVladimir Konstantinov said.
