The authorities of Sevastopol want legendary Roger Waters, one of the founders of the rock group Pink Floyd, to perform in Crimea at a music festival that they plan to hold on the site of the Balaklava battle of 1854, and have already sent him an invitation.
Nikolai Krasnolitsky, head of the Sevastopol’s main department of culture said that the show should become a kind of “Festival of friendship”, which would show that creativity is international and always serves the world.
