As mentioned in our previous update, during April, the ECG Productions team had the honor of recording a mesmerizing duo concert showcasing the talents of pianist Levon Oganezov, alongside Broadway singer and actor Igor Portnoi. Among the repertoire, the rendition of "Winds of Change" (verses written by Naum Olev), left a profound impression on the audience. This song, reminiscent of the Soviet interpretation of the musical "Mary Poppins," stirred deep emotions and resonated deeply with the listeners.
In April, the ECG Productions team had the privilege to film a captivating duo concert featuring the renowned and multifaceted musician, pianist, composer, satirist, entertainer, and TV presenter, Levon Oganezov, alongs ide Broadway singer and actor Igor Portnoi @igorportnoi. The performance of various songs deeply resonated with the audience, particularly the timeless classic "Officer Waltz," penned in the wartime year of 1943 and famously interpreted by Leonid Utesov, known affectionately to descendants from the former Soviet Union. May this rendition serve as a poignant reminder that even in the darkest of times, the promise of peace and hope for a brighter future endures.
The video shows a fragment of Tamara Eidelman's lecture in Toronto on the 5th of April. Many people from Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, and Israel feel despair at times today, stemming from the inability to effect change and the sense of the meaninglessness of actions.

Throughout history, there have been periods of inhumane trials for people, including terrible wars. Viktor Frankl became one of the individuals who managed to survive and transform his experience into texts. Losing his entire family in a concentration camp, he returned to life and founded a new direction in psychotherapy called Logotherapy - healing with meaning. The method is based on the search for meaning in all manifestations of life, even the most terrible ones, as a lack of meaning leads to a person's demise.
Quoting from Viktor Frankl's book: "The first to break were those who believed that everything would end soon. After them, those who did not believe it would ever end. Those who survived were those who focused on their actions, without expectations of what may or may not happen. When we live expecting everything to end, we allegedly cling to the previous reality, making it psychologically difficult for us to survive in the present reality. Those who survive are those who live in the here and now."
Frankl devised a few simple rules for surviving in situations where life seems impossible: accept the situation as it is; do not wait for the end of the war, postponi
