On the eve of Victory Day, the military-patriotic song contest "Memory of the Heart" was held at BNTU. The Instrument-Making Faculty was represented by Yuliana Rodimtseva, who managed to earn a 1st degree laureate diploma. We decided to ask her a few questions:
What emotions did you feel when you took the stage?
Honestly, I was a little nervous, but when I started singing, it became easier. I felt that this was important. After the performance, I was even surprised: how did I do it? But inside, it was warm and calm. As if I had coped not only with the song but with something bigger.
How high was the level of competition?
It was very high. All the participants perfectly conveyed the emotions embedded in their performances, but I managed to do it a little better.
Why do you think it's important to hold such events?
I believe such events are necessary. When you sing a song like that – not just perform it, but live through it – you understand: memory does not live on its own in textbooks. It needs to be brought to life. With voice, with heart, with a personal choice. As long as we remember, all heroes will live on.
Do you plan to participate in this contest in the future?
Yes, of course. It is a very interesting and useful experience, and most importantly, it gives me the feeling that I am paying tribute to memory and expressing my respect.
Thank you for your answers, and we wish you success in your future achievements!
