"Oleg Gazmanov - 55 years on stage"

People's Artist of Russia Oleg Gazmanov does not need an introduction. The work of this Russian singer, composer, poet is well known and loved by several generations of our compatriots. Long-term friendship connects Oleg Gazmanov with the Academic Ensemble of Song and Dance of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation under the direction of the Artistic Director and Chief Conductor, People's Artist of Russia, Major General Viktor Eliseev.

The festive concert "Oleg Gazmanov - 55 Years on Stage", held at the Crocus City Hall on October 28, 2023, was a real gift for all fans of the Ensemble and Oleg Gazmanov. The music and lyrics of all the songs included in the concert program were written by Oleg Gazmanov, a People's Artist of Russia.

Patriotic themes are the basis of Oleg Gazmanov's work. Today, when our country is once again facing global Nazism, patriotic works and military-themed songs take on a special significance. "Officers," "Immortal Regiment," "No One but Us," "Artifacts," "Yesaul," and "Forward, Russia!" were performed by the choir and orchestra of the Rosgvardia Ensemble (featuring Oleg Gazmanov) with tears in the audience's eyes.

No one was left indifferent to the heartfelt performance of the songs: "The Measurement of Life", "Wait for the Rain", "The Faraway Home", "Peter", "The Red Book", and "My Temple" – in each of them, Oleg Gazmanov openly speaks about what is important for each of us: about love for our native nature, for our roots, and about responsibility towards future generations. It is symbolic that young performers also took part in the concert. One of the highlights of the concert program was Yaroslav Dronov's (SHAMAN) fiery performance of the song "Squadron," which has become a hallmark of Oleg Gazmanov's style.

A warm lyrical note gave the whole evening the performance of songs: "Hope dies last", "Wait", "Mama", "My only one".

"This is all for you" is the title of one of Oleg Gazmanov's songs, which was performed at the end of the concert. This song can be considered the motto of Oleg Gazmanov's entire life and career.

The audience applauded for a long time.

The ensemble performed in the capital of Chuvashia

After a triumphant performance in Nizhny Novgorod, the Academic Order of Merit for Culture and Art of the Song and Dance Ensemble of the National Guard of the Russian Federation arrived in Cheboksary, the capital of the Republic of Chuvashia. Cheboksary is an ancient Volga city that celebrated its 550th birthday in 2025. From 1708 to 1920 Cheboksary was a county town of Kazan province, and in 1925 acquired the status of the capital of the Republic of Chuvashia. The city has been repeatedly recognized as one of the most well‑developed in Russia. Today it is the administrative, industrial, scientific, and cultural center of Chuvashia. The work of the Academic Order “For Merit in Culture and Art” Song and Dance Ensemble of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation, under the direction of the artistic director and chief conductor, People’s Artist of Russia, Hero of Labour of Russia, Major General Viktor Eliseev, is well known to the residents of Cheboksary. The renowned military ensemble has performed many times in the capital of Chuvashia. On the stage of the Republican Center for Folk Art “DK Traktorostroiteley” on September 3, 2026, the Ensemble’s collective presented a new concert program, prepared for the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Federal Service of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation and the 210th anniversary of the law enforcement troops. The packed hall was filled with city residents, labor veterans, participants in the special military operation, Rosgvardia employees, and members of their families. Among the honoured guests of the event were the Head of the Chuvash Republic, Oleg Nikolaev, members of the Government of the Chuvash Republic, and representatives of public organizations.

The ensemble gave a concert in Nizhny Novgorod

As part of the tour by the Academic Order “For Merit in Culture and Art” Song and Dance Ensemble of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation, under the direction of the artistic director and chief conductor, People’s Artist of Russia, Hero of Labour of Russia, Major General Viktor Eliseev, concerts were successfully held in Uglich and Kostroma in late August 2026. On the first day of September, the ensemble performed for the residents and guests of Nizhny Novgorod. The residents of Nizhny Novgorod carefully preserve the historical memory of the city’s heroic past — the people’s militia led by Minin and Pozharsky in 1612, the militia of 1812, and the heroic labour efforts of the townspeople during the Great Patriotic War. Thanks to its favourable geographical location — at the confluence of the Volga and Oka rivers — Nizhny Novgorod became the country’s main trading hub as early as the 19th century, a “bridge” between Europe and Asia. The city’s residents are proud of the names of their great compatriots – the inventor Ivan Kulibin, the writer Maxim Gorky, the mathematician Nikolai Lobachevsky, the pilots Valery Chkalov and Pyotr Nesterov, the actor Evgeny Evstigneev, and many others. And Nizhny Novgorod is also called the capital of sunsets (this brand was officially registered by Rospatent in 2026).
