[The Russian government has canceled the plan to hold a Victory Day concert at Red Square]
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a resolution to remove the concert scheduled to be held at Red Square from the Victory Day celebration program. According to the document, the government decided to retain the festival fireworks display.
This concert was originally supposed to be funded by the federal budget. Several departments were designated as responsible for organizing this concert, including the Presidential Office, the Presidential Management Department, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Moscow City Government, and the Bolshoi Theatre of the Kremlin. This information comes from a previous version of the event plan that the government had already coordinated through last May.
The concert and fireworks display were originally listed as item three in the activity plan. In the updated terms, only the fireworks display remains. The departments responsible for setting off the fireworks are still those mentioned above, excluding the Bolshoi Theatre of the Kremlin.
