Quotations:
"At the Eurofest I plan to sing in English, this will be the first English song in my repertoire - tells Ruslan. - I absolutely adore this song. What it is about? I'm telling my girl "Hasta la vista", because I have reasons to do that... But this is not the end, but just a new beginning... I will also add that I have some difficulties because I've studied French is school
and started learning English only very recently. I'm like a dog now, which understands everything, but can not say a word. So I have some troubles with speaking English and correct pronouciation. But I'm always trying to get it perfect".
