Nizhny Novgorod schoolchildren invited Basta to their graduation.

      On June 25, 2026, at 11:27 AM, Society Graduates of School No. 3 in the Kstovo District of Nizhny Novgorod invited the famous rap artist Basta to their graduation on June 26. They published a video on social media. "Vasiliy Mikhailovich Vakulenko, we officially invite you to our graduation. It will be very cool. Come to us on June 26, we are waiting for you," the students addressed the rapper.

      Let us remind you that the next day, June 27, the artist will hold a large solo concert (16+) at the "Sovcombank Arena." For this reason, several streets in the Strelka area will be closed, and the Nizhny Novgorod metro will extend its hours of operation.

      It is likely that the children were inspired by the example of their peers from School No. 47. Their video appeal to singer Sergey Lazarev not only gathered millions of views on social media but also fulfilled their dream—the artist came to congratulate the graduates and performed the song "To the Very Heart" for the kids.

      After the official part of the solemn line-up, Sergey Lazarev interacted with the children and took photos with students, teachers, and parents.
