These are the concerts of Vopli Vidoplyasov. I earned a lot, a lot. In 2014 there was a concert on January or February. He was in St.Petersburg. I stood there, it was cue ball, they were playing cool, cool. Then I felt like it was the last time I was in Russia. I had a premonition. There was also a concert in Belarus. , there was a huge festival. And I also had a feeling that this is the last concert in Belarus. I felt that there will be a serious batch,” shared the musician.
