The programme will
celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Russian October Revolution (1817-1917),
said organisers from the People’s TV Station.
The event will include Russian songs that have become familiar to the
Vietnamese people, such as "Russia My Homeland”, "Kalinka” and a number of
Russian ballet and orchestra works. They will be performed by artists from both
countries, including Quang Tho, Lan Anh, Khanh Ly and many artists from Russian
art troupes.
Many local and international experts will exchange views on the history of the
Russian October Revolution and Vietnam’s August Revolution.
One such expert is Moscow radio journalist Aleksei Syunnenberg Lensov, who has
made tireless efforts in collecting identities of Russian and Vietnamese Red
Armies who fought for the Soviet Union during World War II. Vietnamese soldiers
included Ly Nam Thanh, Ly Anh Tao and Ly Thuc Chat from the central province of
Nghe An, who were killed during a fight against the Nazi at the Moscow gate.
Apart from the programme in Hanoi, concerts of Russian love songs
will held early this November by VOH Music One in HCM City.
The programme will include renowned singers such as Tran Hieu and Cam Van.
It also aims to promote the relationship between Vietnam and Russia and enhance
communications between businesses from the two countries.
Images and music at the concerts will remind audiences of the two countries’
decades of memories and close ties, the organisers said.
Audiences will not only enjoy Russian music but also meet Russian people.
Songs to be performed will include "My Fatherland Russia”, "The Ural’s Rowan”,
"Kachiusa”, "Moscow’s Suburb PM” and many others.
A Russian Culture Week will also be held from October 30 to November 5 at the
theatre. The week will display paintings by Russian painters and cultural
publications.
The concerts will be held on November 2, 3 and 4 at VOH Music One Theatre, 37
Nguyen Binh Khiem, Dakao ward, District 1, HCM City.

Mo is a term referring to a profession and cultural heritage which integrates folk beliefs with folk culture and arts. Practiced at funerals and religious rituals by the Muong ethnic people, it aims to provide spiritual comfort during significant life events such as illness and death.
Hoa Binh leaves a strong impression on visitors due to the diversity in the lifestyle and cultural identities of its ethnic groups. The province is home to six main ethnic groups, with a total population of nearly 900,000. The largest group is Muong, making up 63.3% of the population, followed by Kinh with 27.73%, Thai 3.9%, Tay 2.7%, Dao 1.7%, Mong 0.52%, and other ethnic groups 1.18%. Along with the long history of the nation’s formation and defence, the province’s ethnic groups have always been united, hardworking, and determined to strive for socio-economic development. At the same time, each ethnic group displays its own unique and distinct cultural identity, contributing to a diverse, rich, and attractive cultural tapestry.
Hoa Binh province has carried out multiple programmes and initiatives to revive its cultural heritage which has gradually fallen into oblivion through the ebbs and flows of history.
The most prominent and defining feature in the prehistoric era of Hoa Binh is the Hoa Binh Culture. The Culture was first discovered in Hoa Binh. The significant prehistoric culture represents not only Vietnam but also Southeast Asia and southern China. Through excavations of cave sites in the limestone regions of Hoa Binh, French archaeologist M. Colani introduced the world to a "Stone Age in Hoa Binh province – Northern Vietnam" in 1927. On January 30, 1932, the First Congress of Far Eastern Prehistorians, held in Hanoi, officially recognised the Hoa Binh Culture.
Known as the "Land of Epic History”, Hoa Binh province, the gateway to Vietnam’s northwest, boasts a strategic location and a unique cultural tapestry woven by its ethnic minority communities.
The People's Committee of Luong Son District recently held a ceremony to receive the certificate recognizing Sau Communal House in Thanh Cao Commune as a provincial-level historical and cultural site.
