The Smolensk Institute of Arts hosted the largest poetic battle

On October 8, in the walls of the Smolensk State Institute of Arts (SGII), the seventh poetic battle “Autumn is forever right” took place, which became the largest in the history of the event.

The creative competition lasted an hour and a half and consisted of five rounds:

“Nature has no bad weather” (landscape lyrics);

“Thank you, life, for your holiday...” (philosophical lyrics);

Under the Gogol flag (social themes and humor);

"Love will come inadvertently.";

Free swimming.

The event was opened with a poetic offering from Konstantin Petrov and a welcoming word from Vice-Rector Nikolai Senchenkov. Ten authors presented their works: Marilyn-Maria Sviridenkova, Daria Danilova, Anastasia Novikova, Ekaterina Zaitseva, Mikhail Bobylev, Veronika Zakharova, Angelina Mosunova, Sergey Absentov, Kristina Kazantseva and Alexandra Bykova.

The performances were evaluated by an authoritative jury, which included the winners of previous years (Ilya Nyukhtilin and Vladislav Artemenkova), university graduates (Alexander Dobrovolsky and Daniil Pushnov) and teachers (Yulia Ivanova and Vitaly Ignatenko). According to the results of the battle, Veronika Zakharova took the absolute first place. The event ended with reading poems by Alexander Kushner and dedications to Boris Red.
