MOSCOW, February 24 Singer Lyubov Uspenskaya, at a performance at Crocus City Hall, performed a new song based on the verses of the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova, “My strength is with me,” the diplomat said.
On the day of her 70th birthday, the artist opened the anniversary concert with a new song by the Russian diplomat. Zakharova’s lyrical composition raises questions of life and struggle: “My strength is with me, and let this fight last,” the chorus lines sound.
Answering the agency’s question about what inspired her to write the words, Zakharova said that “they once spoke with Lyuba six months ago, she told me that her anniversary was coming, that she wanted to open with some special song <…> so that it would be about the most important thing in her life.”

She became the core, and the emotions and experiences of a woman who went through many life difficulties and responded to the challenges of fate were strung on her,” said the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to Maria Zakharova, “when Lyuba wrote it down, we suddenly, without saying a word, literally in one second said to each other: so it’s about all of us and about Russia. Russia is feminine, after all.”
