A girl in a blue skirt, an embroidered shirt and a scarf on her head jumps up and waves her arms and a handbag to one of the versions of Natalia Valevskaya’s famous song “Palala”.

Earlier, the UOJ wrote that the Ministry of Culture held a concert of “modern music” in the Refectory Church of the Lavra.
