Prime Minister Vladimir Putin sent a telegram to People’s Artist of the USSR Lyudmila Zykina, Hero of Socialist Labour, congratulating her on her birthday.

The message reads, in part:

"You rightfully belong to a galaxy of brilliant and talented performers whose art is inseparably linked with the Russian song and the splendid traditions of folk art. Your supreme vocal talent, perfect mastery, and respect for listeners have won you professional recognition and the sincere and everlasting love of the public.

"It is gratifying that you pay tremendous attention to the education of gifted young people and take an active part in charity work and public initiatives."
