Kira Sapgir expressed a desire to participate in the program of master classes of the project «PORTRAIT OF THE RUSSIAN FINE WORD» and with pleasure posed to the artists on a portrait session in the art studio of the project manager, therefore the master class consisted of two consecutive sessions of drawing. Kira Sapgir read well-known «Rayeshniki», the translations from French into Russian and from Russian into French; sang for the artists of the project the song "Oh, at this evening, at this evening..." in her own translation into French, and the ancient national song of France – in her own translation into Russian.
