American director Oliver Stone attended the gala reception given in the Kremlin by Russian President Vladimir Putin on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War.
Putin spoke briefly with his guest "on foot", taking his hand in a friendly manner. "It was nice to see you again" - he addressed the director in English. "Mr. President, thank you very much", replied Stone. "Thank you for coming! All the best!" – Putin added in farewell.
A few hours earlier, Stone attended the Victory Parade on Red Square as a guest.
On April 30, Putin and Stone held a meeting on the sidelines of the educational marathon "Knowledge. First". Both gave lectures there.
Serbian director Emir Kusturica said that his trip from Belgrade to Moscow to participate in the solemn parade on Red Square went according to plan, and the artist spent a lot of time walking around the capital.
"I flew from Belgrade, everything went well", Kusturica said.
“Every evening I walk along Tverskaya, covering 5 km“,“, he noted.
Earlier, Kusturica called the parade on Red Square “a triumph of the Russian people and the peoples who fought against Nazism“.
Among the guests of the parade was the American actor Steven Segal, who does not hide his positive attitude towards Russia.
