She received congratulations from the Penza city mayor Victor Kuvaytsev.

“Your bright talent and truly relentless persuasion helped you fully realize your versatile artistic potential and make a truly valuable contribution to preserving the cultural heritage of the Sura land. Your years of work with establishing and developing the first Russian memorial to Vsevolod Meyerkhold, great reformer of our national theatrical art, is worth all feelings of awe and respect,” says his letter of gratitude.
