Nowadays, Chereshnevy Les, and this year it is held for the 17th time, visited Luzhniki for a reason: voluntary participants in the festival’s greening movement planted a cherry alley in anticipation of XXI The FIFA World Cup, which will be held in Russia, and the first and final FIFA matches will take place on the field of the Luzhniki Grand Sports Arena. And it was the amateur gardeners of the Chereshnevy Les who became the first who, after the grandiose renovation of the Luzhniki sports complex, found themselves in it and were even able to carefully examine it - inside and out...
The continuity of generations
Concerts, performances and film screenings, performances and original art projects are held annually at the best venues in the Russian capital as part of the Chereshnevy Les Open Arts Festival; according to tradition, spring comes here with it. Now the festival isis supported by the Moscow Government, and among his good friends are the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Russia under the direction of Vladimir Spivakov, Yuri Bashmet and the Moscow Soloists chamber ensemble, pianist Denis Matsuev, saxophonist Igor Butman, the Moscow Art Theater. A.P. Chekhov and Sovremennik, sculptor Georgy Frangulyan, choreographer Boris Eifman.
In 2001, the Bosco di Ciliegi company established this festival with the goal of supporting and developing culture in its various manifestations - both international and Russian, modern and with a long history. Continuity of traditions and connections between generations is the mission of Chereshnevy Les. Therefore, before the landscaping of Luzhniki, Mikhail Kusnirovich, organizer and ideological inspirer festival, he very opportunely noted that his mother Edith Iosifovna, among the young volunteers, planted trees on the territory of the same sports complex in 1956, on the eve of its opening after construction.
Never before in its history has our Chereshnevy Les planted trees with such a stunning effect, with such big amount beautiful words and official speeches, - Mikhail Kusnirovich said to his friends and guests who gathered at the Luzhniki Grand Sports Arena. - Now you and I have received a great honor - we have become the first to try out the main stand of this sports complex, because stadiums are primarily built for fans. And at this moment, being here, we immediately perform many functions related to testing the entire complex, including checking its acoustics. In a word, wow - what are we doing! After the stadium was closed for reconstruction in 2013, I dreamed of being here sooner. Today it worked! What happened here is a real miracle, I take off my helmet in front of the builders! And I share this happiness with the faithful gardeners of the Chereshnevy Les! Everything is in our favor, even the weather, which was not warm this spring...
The guests of Chereshnevy Les 2017 were also greeted by the Minister of Sports of Russia Pavel Kolobkov, with a smile he noted that, in fact, it is forbidden to go onto the Luzhniki football field without special sports shoes, but only today and only festival participants have the opportunity to trample a little brand new lawn made of real grass.
There is a slight feeling of nostalgia for the old Luzhniki stadium, but in the new one the spirit of sport is completely preserved, and it is also imbued with the spirit of victory,” the minister shared his feelings.
330 cherries
Chereshnevy Les activists planted 330 three-year-old seedlings in Luzhniki. They were joined that day by Pavel Kolobkova, General Director of Luzhniki OJSC Alexander Pronin, legendary football players Valery Nepomnyashchiy and Evgeny Lovchev, Ambassador of the Italian Republic to Russia Cesare Maria Ragaglini (by the way, several years ago Chereshnevy Les cherry trees planted in Sorrento, Italy), and hockey player Alexander Ovechkin, gymnast Alexey Nemov and figure skater Ilya Averbukh planted trees as ambassadors of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Armed with shovels and watering cans, work gloves and galoshes, we got to work. The cherry variety “Zhivitsa” was planted; it was chosen with intent - it easily tolerates the vagaries of spring in the middle zone, but at the same time pleases with an excellent harvest.
The Minister of Sports told us that the cherry alley at Luzhniki is dedicated to the legendary football players of the national teams participating in the 2017 Confederations Cup. Eight trees were named after football legends: Luis Figo (Portugal), Hugo Sanchez (Mexico), Harry Kewell (Australia), Samuel Eto" O (Cameroon), Ivan Zamorano (Chile), Lothar Matthäus (Germany), Ivan Vicelich (New Zealand), Rinat Dasaev (Russia).The football goalkeeper, who has been one of the best goalkeepers in the world for more than 35 years, was appointed by Pavel Kolobkov.
It's an honor for me! - said the minister. - Besides, I recently scored a goal for him, which I am very proud of.
And Yana Churikova revealed her little secret:
I have no doubt that my tree will grow. I have a phenomenal gift that no one except my grandmother Nina knows about. I can stick my finger into the ground, and everything will start to sprout, turn green and bloom!
Evelina Khromchenko also spoke candidly with us - the day when Chereshnevy Les plants cherry orchards, special for her, she doesn’t miss it, despite her own crazy schedule:
I don’t have a dacha, but the trees I planted grow in the gardens BOSCO. And landing in the company of family BOSCO – It's a great pleasure for me!
All the time while landscaping work was going on, jazzman Igor Butman led on stage under open air with their own team - the Moscow State Jazz Orchestra. Musicians playing the highest level really supported the working spirit and enthusiasm of the gardeners of Chereshnevoy Les 2017.
He saw everything from above!..
After the landscaping took place solemn ceremony awards annual prize Oleg Yankovsky - people's artist USSR - “Creative Discovery”.
The award was established in 2010, at X festival "Cherry Forest", in memory of the great actor who stood at its origins and headed the Board of Trustees of the festival from the day of its foundation. And since then it has been awarded for the most striking creative discoveries of the year in different areas arts: theater, music, cinema, literature. The laureates are determined by members of the Chereshnevy Les Board of Trustees, which includes prominent figures of Russian culture.
The Oleg Yankovsky Prize is awarded in the form of cherry berries, handmade from Murano glass in the workshops of the Venetian master Silvano Signoretto, with Oleg Ivanovich’s autograph and engraved date - May 32... There is no mistake here! It was on this day that Baron Munchausen, brilliantly played by Oleg Ivanovich in Mark Zakharov’s film “That Same Munchausen,” planned his flight to the moon.
Today the legendary actor received awards Opera singer Albina Shagimuratova in the category “Masterpieces for All Time”, the son of Oleg Yankovsky - Philip (for the role of Yevgeny Yevtushenko in the TV series of Channel One “ Mysterious passion"based on the novel by Vasily Aksenov), and also Ivan Yankovsky - the grandson of Oleg Ivanovich.

The young man was unable to personally receive the award; he was on tour in Omsk; Philip Yankovsky promised to give the prize, who literally glowed with pride for his son.
Honored Artist of Russia Yulia Peresild took the award in the romantic category “She plays love incredibly...”. The actress admitted to us afterwards that the victory came as a complete surprise to her, because she just came to plant a cherry tree. Therefore, it is not surprising that, having received the glass cherry, Julia cheerfully performed “The Song of good mood", Igor Vernik picked her up, making a duet for the actress. But Vernik, the People’s Artist of Russia, also had Yankovsky’s “cherry” waiting for him. Igor received the award for his role as the Dragon in the play of the same name based on the fairy tale by Evgeniy Schwartz at the Moscow Art Theater. A.P. Chekhov, and Oleg Tabakov awarded him - artistic director this theater.
In the cinema, the same role was played by Oleg Ivanovich Yankovsky, Igor Vernik reminded the public. - And this is significant for me! And it’s also a great happiness to receive an award from the hands of Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov, who gave me a chance to succeed as an actor.
Ingeborga Dapkunaite, a member of the Chereshnevy Les Board of Trustees, awarded the artist and set designer Maria Tregubova, a graduate of the theater and set design department of the Moscow State Academic art school in memory of 1905, the oldest artistic educational institution Russia. Maria has already designed more than three dozen performances in various prominent theaters, and received the Yankovsky award as an artist for the play “Circus” at the Theater of Nations. The premiere of the production took place this year - just in the midst of the Chereshnevy Les festival.
Oleg Yankovsky’s scarlet “cherry” in the “Breaking Stereotypes” nomination was also given toFrench businessman, president of the Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy group of companies Bernard Arnault. It turns out that the Forbes list regular's passion is music. And the future billionaire won the heart of his wife, Canadian pianist Hélène Mercier, with a performance of Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude.” True, Mr. Arnault was not able to come to collect his award, but Vladimir Spivakov undertook to hand it over.
The beautiful finale of the ceremony was the screening of excerpts from the play “Neformat” by the Sovremennik Theater, which united the works of Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, Pogodin, Berto, Chekhov and Chervinsky. The production is also a “cherry” winner; its premiere took place at the Chereshnevy Les festival last year.
And Oleg Ivanovich Yankovsky himself watched everything that was happening from above - a portrait fluttered in the clear sky above Luzhniki genius master acting art.
