Many famous poets collaborated with Shainsky, including Yuri Entin, Mikhail Plyatskovsky, Eduard Uspensky, and Mark Lisyansky. His works were included in the repertoires of the most popular performers, such as Lev Leshchenko, Iosif Kobzon, Anna German, Andrey Mironov, Klara Rumyanova, Vadim Mulerman, and many others.

Participation in a festival dedicated to the composer A. P. Averkin

One of the glorious traditions of Russian musical culture is the annual (since 1997) All-Russian Festival of Folk Art in memory of Alexander Averkin, an Honored Artist of Russia and a composer, held in the Sasovo Municipal District of the Ryazan Region. In 2026, the XXIX All-Russian Festival of Folk Art, dedicated to the composer A.P. Averkin, combines two themes. The main theme of the event is the memory and creative legacy of Alexander Petrovich Averkin, the author of over 800 works that remain popular today. But the fact that this year's festival is being held in the composer's homeland gives it a special significance. Exactly 100 years ago, in the summer of 1926, the village of Sasovo was officially declared a city by the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee.
