The Russian military orchestras participating in the receptions at the highest level know and are ready to perform the favorite composition of Russian President Vladimir Putin — "Where the Motherland begins". This was told by the head of the Military Orchestra Service of the Leningrad Military District, Lieutenant Colonel Pavel Gernets.
"I think the whole country knows perfectly well that Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin not only loves, but also performs the composition "Where the Motherland begins" on the piano," the conductor quotes TASS.
Gernets noted that at one of the government events the orchestra played this song for the president, although it was not included in the official program, but the orchestra members were ready to perform this composition.
"The piano should always be in the bushes," the musician concluded.
The song "Where the Motherland begins" by Veniamin Basner on the words of Mikhail Matusovsky is the main theme of the multi-part feature film "Shield and Sword", which was released in 1968. In several episodes of the picture, she sounds behind the scenes performed by Mark Bernes.
