Putin at the Kremlin conferred the title of People's Artist of the Russian Federation on Ildar Abdrazakov.

      Russian President Vladimir Putin personally presented the honorary title of "People's Artist of Russia" to People's Artist of Tatarstan and Bashkortostan, world opera star Ildar Abdrazakov. The state awards ceremony took place in the Catherine Hall of the Kremlin.

      The title was conferred for great services in the development of national musical art and for many years of fruitful work.

      "It is a great honor for me to be in this hall today and to receive the title of People's Artist of Russia. Unfortunately, my parents did not live to see this day, but I am sure they are happy and they see everything up there. And they are proud of me, my brother, our family, and my father always used to say: 'Wherever you are, wherever you sing, know that your homeland is Russia. You are from Bashkortostan, but please come home more often, perform more often for your audience.' ... Thank you very much for your trust, I will carry this title with honor and dignity!" Abdrazakov said in his speech.

      Recall that in June last year Putin personally presented Abdrazakov in the Kremlin with the insignia of a laureate of the State Prize in the field of literature and art. The head of state called him one of the most in-demand opera singers of our time and "a brilliant master of vocal art." Abdrazakov received the title of People's Artist of Tatarstan back in 2013.

      It should be noted that Putin also conferred the honorary title "Hero of Labor" on the CEO of PJSC KAMAZ, Sergey Kogogin, at the Kremlin and called him "a legend of motorsport." Kogogin was awarded for special labor merits to the state and the people. In addition, another resident of Tatarstan received a state award — Vasily Serebryannikov, a deep-well repair driller at the KRS-Service enterprise. Putin presented him with the Order "For Distinguished Labor."
