Prime Minister Vladimir Putin wishes Nikolai Rastorguyev, singer, public figure, and People’s Artist of Russia, a happy 55th birthday

 
 
 

The message reads, in part:

"You are a talented artist, endowed with a huge reserve of creative energy. You have added bright and distinctive pages to the history of Russian popular music. Songs by the band Lyube have earned high recognition, and have become iconic among several generations of listeners. I'd like to recognise your meaningful and important public activities."
