More than 23 million rubles were collected at auction during the seventh Catherine's Assembly, held on Friday, December 8 at the initiative of the Sverdlovsk Regional Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs. The charitable assembly was supported by Governor Yevgeny Kuyvashev and put up for auction his lot-bike with an initial price of 300 thousand rubles. As a result, the lot went under the hammer for 1.5 million rubles.

The funds collected at the auction were transferred to the "Special People" Association for the implementation of the "Workshops for Unlimited Possibilities" project. This will be a playground for people with disabilities who will create unique souvenirs. A workshop will be located in the building of the Zemstvo school, which the governor has transferred to the association.

"Outwardly, I was quite successful: with two higher educations, good work and career. But no one knew how I raised my son, I did not consider it necessary to talk about it. And one day I realized that for many years I was hiding from the pain I felt. And I created the movement of the same moms as me to get us out of the gray zone in which we were, "- admitted the head of the association Tatiana Fleganova.

The special guest of the Catherine Assembly was actress Chulpan Khamatova.
