Our congratulations to the V-Rox’s mentor Ilya Lagutenko on receiving the title of the «Horonary citizen of Vladivostok»!

Today in Vladivostok Ilya Lagutenko was awarded with the attributes of the «Horonary citizen of Vladivostok» on the solemn assembly dedicated to the 156th birthday of the city.

The lead singer of the band «Mumiy Troll» was welcomed with loud applauses when he was going up to the stage of the Primorsky Stage of the Mariinsky Theatre. The mentor of V-Rox got the award ribbon, the certificate, the commemorative medal and the identification document from the chairperson of the City Duma Elena Novitskaya and the interim major of Vladivostok Konstantin Loboda.

Ilya Lagutenko: «This is an extraordinary day for such a dreamer like me. I could not even imagine that. I think, it is a miracle for the most of people in this hall to see me in a bit different role. But, as it is said, poets, musicians and artists predestine the future in their fantasies. That’s the future of that Vladivostok-3000. Everyone have their own idea of it and, maybe, it is impossible to build it without taking a look into the future».

At the end of his speech the mentor of V-Rox said hello to his grandmother Veronica Iosifovna Tur, who has her own idea of Vladivostok-3000, too, and who is celebrating her 93rd birthday this year. After that Ilya Lagutenko rephrased his song «Fantastika», singing «Don’t we stay together for all time, for all ti-i-ime».
