I'm on pins and needles.

[Regnum] Official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said that she decided to compose a Christmas song. At the same time, the Secretary of State of the Union State and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus helped her in implementing the idea.

Zakharova explained that she is “not a songwriter,” but the song came out in a New Year’s mood.

“Sometimes I come up with some lines. I had a dream to make a Christmas song. This text appeared two and a half years ago. I didn’t know how I could find the right co-author in terms of music,” the diplomat said in an interview with the Belarus 1 TV channel.

According to Zakharova, a year ago she spoke with the Secretary of State of the Union State of Belarus and Russia Dmitry Mezentsev . We talked about the possibility of a creative project between the two countries.

The idea was also supported by the Belarusian Foreign Ministry, recognizing that it should be something informal and unofficial. Help was provided by Foreign Ministry press secretary Anatoly Glaz.

The Belarusian side provided an opportunity to work with a local music production center, a composer and a young performer appeared.

“We are waiting for everyone at the presentation of this song in Moscow on December 24th. The music is Belarusian, the words are written in Russian with emotional overtones,” Maria Zakharova invited.

As IA Regnum reported , Moscow doctors - employees of the Bashlyaeva Children's City Hospital, as well as rescuers and volunteers on December 19 launched the all-Russian action "Santa Claus Landing 2023".

New Year's wizards (on this day they were volunteer activists with the skills of industrial climbers) descended on cables from the roof of the hospital to the windows of the wards and presented gifts to the little patients: board games, books, coloring books.

The role of the Snow Maiden was played by the Commissioner for Children's Rights under the President of Russia Maria Lvova-Belova . The granddaughter of Santa Claus climbed to the hospital windows on a crane.

This year, Father Frosts and Snow Maidens will “land” in 50 regions of Russia
