On Monday, fans witnessed a unique performance before the Dynamo – Krasnodar match: 100 finalists of the Inclusive Moscow festival, together with the artistic director of the Moscow Center for Social Integration Diana Gurtskaya, performed the song Katyusha.

The song, which became a symbol of the war years, was chosen for the opening of the match not by chance: the organizers wanted not only to remind the audience once again about the glorious feat of the victorious people, but also to show what successes the participants of the Inclusive Moscow festival are achieving.

– There is a lot of work behind every talent, for many children with disabilities today's meeting with a wide audience is an event that will be remembered for a lifetime. This is the main goal of our work – to create conditions so that there are as many such moments as possible, and this is a great victory for everyone," said Diana Gurtskaya, People's Artist of Russia.

The main mission of the Inclusive Moscow festival is to create opportunities for the realization of the creative potential of talented residents of the capital. This year, more than 2,400 people aged 5 to 35 participated in the selection in five nominations – vocal and gesture singing, instrumental performance, choreography (including wheelchair dancing), art reading and original genre.

The decision on the passage of participants to the finals was made by an authoritative jury, which included producers, actors, directors, choreographers, musicians and experts of inclusive projects. At the end of April, they determined the composition of the participants of the upcoming gala concert, which will traditionally be held in November-December 2026.
