Diana Nesterova, a student at the State University of Management, performed a creative number on Chinese television during a program dedicated to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is associated with the legend of the moon goddess Chang'e and the family gathering to give thanks for the harvest. It is also celebrated in Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. The 15th day of the eighth lunar month is traditionally celebrated by exchanging gifts, releasing paper lanterns on rivers, and eating mooncakes. The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most popular in China, second only to the Chinese New Year in terms of scale. The festival commemorating it is called "Golden Week," and this year it ran from October 1st to 8th, which were public holidays.

Diana Nesterova, a fourth-year undergraduate student at the State University of Management, currently studying in the International Manufacturing Business program jointly with Ningbo University, was invited to represent Russian students on Chinese television in a program dedicated to this major holiday. The Chinese students sang the song "Moscow Nights," and Polina added her choreography.

"I know the Mid-Autumn Festival is very important to the Chinese people. I'm very glad that Russia and China are good friends. I think it's crucial for Russia to learn and understand the meaning of this holiday, as it's such a huge part of Chinese culture. It was a wonderful idea to combine Russian and Chinese cultures in one performance at such a large festival," Diana Nesterov said in an interview with Chinese journalists.
