“The Shukshin Festival is the largest event in Altai. The event is attended by guests from all over Russia, including famous actors, musicians, writers - those who knew Vasily Makarovich personally, or for who were influenced by Shukshin's work.
Opening with small Shukshin readings at the monument to the writer, actor and director in Barnaul, this annual festival continues for several days throughout the region,” the national tourist portal Russia.travel said in a statement.
The most striking events will be held in the writer's small homeland - in the village of Srostki, the All-Russian Memorial Museum-Reserve of V. M. Shukshin. Various mini-festivals will be held here - folklore, bard and theatrical.
“On the last day, the village arranges a craft fair for visitors and folk festivals on the main street. After that, everyone climbs Mount Piket, where there is a huge monument to Shukshin. The artistic program on the mountain becomes the culmination of the holiday. The artistic program continues for several hours, which ends with the screening of the winning film of the Shukshin Film Festival,” as per Russia.travel.
