I. Metshin at the opening of an art object in the Aksenov square: “V. Aksenov in my heart is a separate golden page”
(KZN.RU, August 22, Anton Nozdrin, Mikhail Chentsov). Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, took part in the opening of a new art object in the Aksenov square. Forged chairs “Metropol”, “Kva-kva”, and “My younger brother”, which were presented to the city by friends of Vasily Aksenov, are located at the end of the alley of the Aksenov Square, opposite from the cinema “Mir”.
Each of the art objects symbolizes the memories of Aksenov's friends about the writer. The “Metropol” chair is named after the eponymous almanac that Popov produced together with Aksenov. The chair “My younger brother”, the gift of Alexander Kabakov, got its name from the film, shot on the story of Aksenov's novel “Star Ticket”. And the armchair “Kva-kva” from Irina Barmetova is a tribute to one of the books of the writer, “Moskva-kva-kva”.
Ilsur Metshin thanked the writers for the present to the city and noted that it was possible to preserve the spirit of the festival for the years of its holding. “Vasily Aksenov told me – no naphthalene needed. It is necessary that there were more youth, more opportunities, and more drive at this festival. I am very glad that all this continues”, he said.
The Mayor expressed his confidence and hope that each new festival will give new names, gather new and old friends. “Vasily Aksenov in my heart is a separate golden page, he was a great man of planetary scale. I am very happy and proud that Kazan is holding such a festival. We will do everything to ensure that his name lives in our grateful hearts and the memory of him in Kazan was eternal”, promised I. Metshin.
In addition to the presentation of art objects, a gala concert was held in the garden, where the participants of the Aksenov-fest performed for residents and guests of Kazan.
