TY - GEN A1 - Gorzków, Dorota A2 - Skobelski, Robert (1968- ) - red. PB - Zielona Góra: Oficyna Wydawnicza Uniwersytetu Zielonogórskiego N2 - The Soviet Song Festival, considered as one of the tools of the communist propaganda, has its origins in 1961 when activists of the Association of the Polish-Soviet Friendship in Zielona Gora decided to organize an amateur contest for the best performance of Soviet songs. However, the name Soviet Song Festival has been used since 1965. N2 - It was funded by the central Ministry of Culture and the Arts. Many well-known artists have debuted on the stage during each of the subsequent editions of the festival (among others: Małgorzata Ostrowska Michal Bajor, Izabela Trojanowska Jan Panasewicz), they competed for bronze, silver and gold samovars. The anthem of the festival was the song Zawsze niech będzie słońce. The organisation of the event was taken care of by the Organizing Committee, which included party activists. N2 - The Soviet Song Festival ended in 1989, but it was not the end of the dissemination of Russian culture on the Ziemia Lubuska. In 2006, the councilmen of Zielona Gora passed a resolution to re-organize the Festival in Zielona Gora. The first time the festival was held in the new version on 6-7 June 2008, however, it functioned by a different name, as the Festival of Russian Song. Once again the contestants competed for the iconic samovars.
