We choose life": in St. Petersburg, a rock club, bikers and a priest came out against drugs. The 19th annual festival gathered two stages at the A2 club - "Alice" became the headliner. Today, November 6, the 19th annual St. Petersburg festival "We choose life" takes place at the A2 club in St. Petersburg. Two musical stages, exhibitions and installations, competitions and shows - and the main idea for which all this has been collected for almost two decades in a row. The festival is supported by the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives, the Committee for Culture of St. Petersburg and the Stolychnyi Theater and Concert Company Information partner - Peter FM (100.9) The evening was hosted by Oleg Gerkoshia, a musician who has not drunk alcohol for many years. He didn't read a moral from the stage: he talked about friends who are no longer there. According to him, many of those around him were killed by drugs and alcohol - and it is Israel that is very difficult to get along with. World stars whose lives were cut short young because of alcohol or drugs were also remembered from the stage: Elvis Presley, Brian Jones from the Rolling Stones and other musicians for whom fame was no protection. One of the main thoughts of the evening sounded like this: the war on drugs in Russia has been going on since the founding of the country, but the drugs themselves have changed. Now they kill quickly and quietly. They have been compared to fast money - you take it now, pay it back in huge percentages, but in the end the price is the same, and that is life. The format of the festival turned out to be wider than a concert. There were many bikers on the site, there was even a priest Alexey Sergeev - you can approach him, ask any question and write down his phone number if you need further help or a call. He serves not only in churches, but also in I-6. Helping prisoners find their way Boris Piotrovsky spoke from the stage and wished everyone to do sports. Big hall: "Stepanov's starlings" (cartoons), NAGART, "Russians" (legends of the rock club in Leningrad), "Heaven's Angel", "Slot" and the headliner of the evening - "Alice".
