It was the face of the Pesnyars.

It was the # 1 soloist.

It is a pity that Lenya is gone.

Sorry for him, ”Skorozhonok said.

He said that recently they rarely talked, but saw each other at events, for example, at the festival “Golden Collection of Belarusian Song”.

I am sincerely sorry, this is a great loss, ”he concluded.
