The organizers of the concert decided to make it free, counting on voluntary financial assistance, for which a glass urn was installed in the center of the foyer. In addition, according to Andrei Sobolev, a senator from Sevastopol in the Federation Council, an electronic account has been opened, which already contains about one hundred thousand rubles, transferred by “enterprises and individuals.” At the same time, all the money, he emphasized, is collected in a relief fund and will be spent and directed specifically.
“Here is the ballot box in front of you - the commission will count it. Everything is in a very correct form, everything is clear. And we will know this amount. We won’t just send it somewhere, we’ll buy something there, we’re already working on a targeted basis. I am a member of the public committee to help residents of the South-East in the Federation Council. There are already working groups there, there is an understanding of the problems and we will know where and what they will be spent on, or they will direct them themselves. There are issues such as a kindergarten without glass, windows in the school being broken. I name what I heard. There are disabled children who need prosthetics. Some regions were cut off from communications and there was no water. Those. there it already goes into the general treasury, but it will go specifically to the children of Sevastopol residents. I can guarantee this,” Sobolev said.
At the same time, he admitted that this will not change the overall picture of the humanitarian catastrophe, but today any help will not be superfluous.
“This is our Sevastopol voice, our Sevastopol contribution, and this once again emphasizes that Sevastopol residents live by one motto - there is no such thing as someone else’s pain. Russians don't abandon their own. No wealth in the world, as Dostoevsky said, is worth the tears of a child,” the senator concluded.
On the stage of the SCCA, creative groups from the city performed for the townspeople, the program of which mainly included Russian folk songs and songs of the Soviet era. There were no empty seats in the hall.
