Concert dedicated to the 55th anniversary of the movie "Officers"
In 2026, the legendary Soviet film "Officers" turns 55 years old. The premiere of the film, directed by Vladimir Rogov based on Boris Vasiliev's novel "Tankmen", took place on July 26, 1971. From the very first days of its release on the screens of the country, the film was an overwhelming success with the audience. The story of three generations of men, officers who devoted their lives to the defense of the Fatherland, who went through the hardest trials with their country, but who remained loyal to their Homeland, faithful to their civic duty, and carried strong male friendship through the decades, could not leave anyone indifferent.
