"I am shocked by the news of the demise of Dmitry Kogan. He is an outstanding musician and a person with a big heart. Dmitriy and the Sverdlovsk Oblast had long warm relations. He did not just come with concerts for the Urals public and supported all our boldest creative projects. He helped our children overcome a terrible disease. With money collected at charitable concerts of Dmitry Kogan, equipment was purchased for children's regional oncohematology. And he himself left too early! Irreplaceable loss. A clear memory, "writes the head of the region.
