Thank you very much and a low bow to you.”
The Chairman of the Senate also said that the experience of the Theater of Special Actors in Petropavlovsk was decided to use throughout the country, and today, together with the Ministry of Culture and Sports, a project is being developed to create inclusive studios at existing theaters.
