In Moscow on the territory of the Luzhniki sports complex as part of the XVII Open Arts Festival " Cherry forest», famous artists, athletes and officials planted seedlings and presented the annual Oleg Yankovsky Creative Discovery Award. The landing took place under the sign of preparations for the upcoming World Cup, which, as is known, will be held in next year in Russia. And Luzhniki will become the main sports arena, which will host not only the most important matches of the championship, but also its opening and closing ceremonies.

Therefore, it was decided to plant the symbolic (but at the same time real) cherry forest here this year - so that by the championship the young trees would get stronger and delight the guests with their fresh foliage. And this time the gardening team included representatives from the world of sports: Minister of Sports Pavel Kolobkov, official ambassadors FIFA World Cup Alexander Ovechkin, Alexey Nemov, Ilya Averbukh and other famous figures. But there were also “old-time gardeners” of a permanent composition: Ingeborga Dapkunaite, and Ksenia Alferova with Egor Beroev, and Valery Syutkin, and Igor Ugolnikov, and Pavel Tabakov and many others were here. There were also quite a few newcomers.
First eyewitnesses
The ideological leader and main organizer of the Chereshnevy Les festival, businessman Mikhail Kusnirovich, comes up with something interesting for his guests every year. Either he will dress up as pioneers, or as Michurinites. This time, at the entrance, all participants were given white construction helmets and fan scarves with the double-sided inscription “Chereshnevy Les” - “Luzhniki”.

This theme was not chosen by chance: the ceremonial part of the event took place at the Great Sports Arena, where a grandiose reconstruction began a little more than three years ago in preparation for the upcoming FIFA World Cup. The festival participants were the first after the builders to see the stadium in all its renewed splendor: all work here is almost completed. The guests were given a special tour, and then they tested the stadium's acoustics, rehearsing several traditional fan chants. And the famous gymnast Alexey Nemov demonstrated his signature somersault in a standing jump.
Fashionable gardeners
After the official part, the Chereshnevy Les gardeners began their favorite part of the event - planting and planting. All participants received all the equipment necessary for gardeners - shovels and watering cans, work gloves and galoshes. Behind musical accompaniment answered the Moscow State Jazz Orchestra conducted by Igor Butman.The leader of the action was a fashion historian and host of the program “ Fashionable verdict» Alexander Vasiliev.
“This is my second cherry tree - I planted the first one at VDNKh several years ago,” Alexander Vasiliev told us. – The event is good and useful, but as an experienced gardener, I have one remark: the holes for the cherries are dug too close to each other!
I must say that Alexander has his own land plot in France, where he personally does all the planting himself.
Not far from Alexander Vasilyev, his “partner” on the TV show, Evelina Khromchenko, was planting a tree. This time she came to boarding with her son Artemy.
— I don’t have a dacha, but my trees grow in the gardens of the “Cherry Forest” - I plant them with great pleasure, because I simply adore cherries and pamper myself with them every year! And this time - despite the crazy schedule, where the presentation of my new collection, and filming a TV show, and a master class - I came to boarding. This, as they say, is sacred, and it has been included in my schedule since last year
Family brigades
To get hungry fresh air guests could refresh themselves in time; tables were set for them, where there was everything the soul desired: from exquisite dishes to simple dishes- such as boiled eggs and corn. There were even belyashi prepared according to Soviet GOST. It was behind them that we found Quartet I member Kamil Larin and his wife Ekaterina.

The couple has a two-year-old son, Daniyar. And it turned out that a new addition was coming to this family - this time the young parents, as an ultrasound showed, were expecting a girl. Let us remind you that Kamil has an adult son, Jan, from the first barque.
“When the children are a little older, the whole family will go to plant the Chereshnevy Forest,” Larin promised us
Irina Slutskaya came to the event with her six-year-old daughter Varvara. The girl helped her mother: Irina planted the tree, and Varya watered it.
Valery Syutkin also arrived with his 20-year-old daughter Viola. They were accompanied by a Bichon Frize dog, Juliet, who even has her own page in one of social networks. I must say that Viola flew to Moscow for just a few days from Paris, where she studies and lives.

The girl was accompanied by her boyfriend, the Frenchman Thor. Just the day before, Viola received her bachelor's degree, and now she is a certified art historian and theater critic. And judging by the fact that her lover helped the girl’s father plant the tree, the wedding is not far off.

Incredible love Peresild
Yulia Peresild was not left without an award. Interestingly, on this day the actress was in great demand: early in the morning Yulia ran a charity half-marathon with Natalya Vodianova, and then, without even having time to change clothes, she arrived at Luzhniki. And she managed not only to inspect the renovated stadium and plant a tree, but also perform on stage, performing several song compositions. And a little later, the Honored Artist of Russia received a prize in the category “She plays love incredibly...”.

“Today I have debut after debut: for the first time at the Chereshnevy Les Sunday, I planted the first tree,” Peresild told us after the presentation. “I’m just shocked: they kept it a secret from me that they were going to give me an award.” The surprise was a success! This is a wonderful festival that takes place under the sign of a great artist. And planting a tree is also a very important personal matter. Now I will watch my tree and wait for it to grow, so that I can then pick cherries and treat the kids to them.
