A distant start
Many successful people admit that they had no idea of the difficulties they had to overcome on the way to achieving their goal.

In the early 80s, Laima Vaikule came to Moscow and became a student of the director's department of the famous GITIS. The talented and textured performer was quickly noticed in the metropolitan get-together. After a short period of time, she met the famous poet Ilya Reznik. In 1986, Vaikule sang the song "Vernissage" to his words and the music of Raymond Pauls, which sounded in the television program "Song-86". Since that moment, lime has become a real pop star, which shines to this day.
