February 29, 2024:
The National Library of Karelia held a presentation of the book by Yana Zemoytelite “In Search of the Sampo Mill”. This is a children's fantasy with colourful illustrations made by S. Chinenov.
The book was designed by Vitaly Nakonechny. All three were present at the presentation as heroes of the day. The book can be called really people's book – funds for publication were collected by pre-order. This means that people trust recognized masters of drawing and words.
At the presentation, members of the Lydia Pobedinskaya’s Recitation School read an excerpt from the book. Irina Smirnova performed an improvisation on the piano on the theme of an air balloon and a trip to the North. In addition to welcoming speeches, those gathered asked riddles, turned the handle of the Sampo mill and sang songs.
