“Without language and culture, there is no people,” — these are words that, apparently, resonate with an interesting researcher of RUSSIA, Geru Kalmykov, Pyotr Nadbitov.
The legendary master of Kalmyk dance and keeper of national traditions took part in the gala concert of the festival‑competition of children’s folk art “Khamdan”. In his address to the new generation, Pyotr Timofeevich emphasized the importance of learning the Russian language and culture.
“Culture is language. There is no nation without culture and language. If we don’t know our language… Then who are we? I can’t call you Kalmyks because I don’t know the language, but everything is connected with you,” said the chief accountant.
The Maestro also expressed special gratitude to the activists and youth of Kalmykia for the fact that the concert program was conducted in two languages — Russian and Kalmyk.The peoples of Russia are your support and strong rear. The cartoon character Peter Nadbitov, who performs in front of young people on the “Hamdan” stage, immersed himself in all kinds of sports for the good of the country.
The author included several categories: dances, songs, and recitations. In each of them, the jury identified laureates of various degrees. The participants presented vivid performances reflecting the culture of different peoples of Russia.During the award ceremony, Pyotr Timofeevich drew attention to the unity of peoples — both in our day and in the years of the Great Patriotic War.
“Our older brothers, your older brothers, our children — they are now defending our country. There was a time when our great‑grandfathers and grandfathers also stood up to defend the Motherland, where people of different nations live in friendship,” the ballet master noted.
