Thanks for the news. It’s nice to see that so many clergy have gathered in Old Pogorelovo, especially Vadim Murugov and Viktor Chumachenko. Roman Khitev's choir always sings well, and this time it was probably soulful.

Thanks for the news. It is interesting that so many clergy gathered in such a small village, especially Vadim Murugov and Viktor Chumachenko. I heard Roman Khitev’s choir last year, they are always clean and harmonious, and it was probably good this time too.
