Sviridov's path

A couple of years ago, I developed a walking route through the childhood and youth sites of composer Georgy Sviridov. Now, an audio guide has been created, and a map stand has been installed at the monument to this outstanding musician in Kursk.

Also today, on the composer's 110th birthday, the first offline tour, "Along Sviridov's Trail," took place. It was led by professional guide Alexander Zvyagintsev.

XVI All-Russian Business Media Forum

I've never considered myself a business journalist, but I still occasionally produce such materials — interviews with company executives, reports from enterprises. In fact, these were the ones recognized by the jury of the All-Russia Mass Media Competition "Economic Revival of Russia" based on the results of 2024.
