Russian singer Dima Bilan has unveiled his new music video, created in collaboration with the Barnaul volunteer project "Mihutka," during a charity lecture series organized by the magazine "Moskvichka" and Moss. This was reported in a press release received by the editorial team of "Lenta.ru."
The artist emphasized the significance of charity, noting that, currently, it is not viewed by people as something "trendy." "We don't have a 'trend' for charity. We can drink coffee from takeaway cups because society decided at some point that it’s part of a cool lifestyle. However, if we send the same amount to a small dog shelter — that’s just our personal matter. But it could be part of a lifestyle that people aspire to," he stated.
Representatives from major Russian charitable organizations attended to discuss charity and how to make assistance more effective: Alla Mallabiou (the "I Hear You" Foundation), Irina Sterikh (the "Friends" Foundation), Elena Martyanova (the "Faith" Foundation), Darya Baibakova (the "Nochezhka" Foundation), and Elena Zubova (the "Sunflower" Foundation).
The performer shared that in September of last year, a creative competition for children with disabilities was held in Barnaul, which was won by a visually impaired ten-year-old named Velimira Shadrina. The girl won the grand prize — a recording of an original song.
"Velimira came to Moscow specifically for the recording, and together in the studio, we recorded such a touching and soulful song about the unique world of children who are inseparable," the singer revealed.
In October, Dima Bilan expressed his desire to assist in the search for an emaciated leopard spotted in the Primorsky Krai.
