At the solemn event, in addition to the mayor of Budapest, the Russian Ambassador Alexander Tolkach and the chairman of the Tolstoy Society Olga Syuch were present.

The Mayor expressed his confidence that the Russian and Hungarian peoples will become closer to each other and this step will be an important milestone in supporting contacts between countries.
