Lara was fully involved in her tour in Russia this past week, with concerts in Krasnodar, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, and then last night, in Moscow. As indicated in the following photo, the in general setlist wasn’t different from what was heard in the States:

(not included in that picture, she also sang Chameleon). And in Moscow, she added 'Papillon'.
There are some videos:

The best of these are (1) Alena’s complete concert videos. She always provides the best quality, and so the Moscow shows are well-preserved for history.
And, (2) the (almost) complete show from Krasnodar, which is high quality; only about 4 songs are missing.
Lara has taken to posting her picture on Instagram with a comment for each of the cities on her tour. First, after the Krasnodar show, she put on her Instagram site
with the caption, “Thank you Krasnodar.” There’s even a short video of it, at
www.facebook.com/larafabiantonautre/videos/914857102226519/
After the show in Kazan, Lara put these pictures on Instagram, first
with the caption, “Kazan…thank you”
followed by,
with the caption, “Yekaterinburg… here I come”.

There are eight photos of Kazan itself and the concert hall, taken by those on the tour. They can be found at:

and similarly of Krasnodar,

The shows appear to have been very well received and attended so far in Russia (at least several have been sold out, e.g., Yekaterinburg, St. Petersburg). Here’s an enthusiastic (google translated) comment from one audience member in Yekaterinburg (from the Lara Fabian Connecting People website):
--------------------------
Polina Koryakovtseva
I am sitting at the airport, smiling at all, looking like a fool - and okay. 😄
For myself, officially announced this day the best in life. No kidding, I never felt such a surge of warmth, delight, joy, happiness, great pleasure and just some kind of unrealistic cosmic feeling that will forever be remembered and will only respond with a smile and infinite warmth in my heart. God, thank you for Lara and her work. It was unrealistically cool, atmospheric, crazy energy, it can’t be described with words that I don’t have any left at all, you must definitely feel it. Sound is a tower, Lara is a tower, love is forever. 😍Who read to the end is well done, and of course, thanks to Lara for her autograph - framed and on the wall!! 😄😄😄(We’ll plan a joint photo for the next concert)
--------------------------
Included in that tribute were these nice pictures, at

Prior to last night’s concert, the Russian fan club for Lara held a big party, with games, etc., and prepared a nice present for her, a handkerchief with a sketch of Alkiona (character of the song from the last album).
vk.com/lf_cp?z=photo-121236_457261672%2Fwall-121236_233622
According to Wikipedia, “Alkiona ( Ancient Greek : Ἀλκυόνη ) was, in Greek mythology , the daughter of Eola , who was born by Ennareta or, according to others, by Egijala . She married Keik , the Thracian king, son of Ephorus , god of the morning star. The marriage of Keik and Alkiona was so fortunate that they compared it to the marriage of Zeus and Hera , and, according to the Pseudo-Apollodorus Library , they often called each other "Zeus" and "Hera." Such arrogance angered Zeus, and the gods punished them by turning them into a pair of birds not living together, Keik into a diver and Alkiona into a waterfowl . According to another version, narrated by Ovid and Higin , which does not mention that Keik and Alkion were called divine names, Keik was killed in a shipwreck, after which Alkiona appeared in Keik's spirit in a dream and informed of his fate, so she threw herself out of pain; out of compassion the gods turned them both into Chalcion birds (ἀλκυών). [4] [5] In order for these birds to lay, the gods stopped the winds for fourteen days during the winter solstice, when these birds nest.”
Their present, then, commemorates the song “Growing Wings”.
Concerning past shows, there’s a very nice video, made for a Ukrainian audience but in English, about her show in Chicago. It can be found at:
www.facebook.com/UaPost/videos/3282652228442169/
Back in Montreal, Lara will be honored on Tuesday at the 29th edition of the SOCAN Gala in Montreal. "Je t’aime" and "Leila" have been heard more than 25,000 times on the radio and will get the status of Classics (thanks to the “Lara Fabian, Bien Plus qu’une Passion. Corse reunion” FB page for the information).
Interesting photo(s) of the day, Lara with Gloria Bass Designs, for whom she has become a ‘model’. This appears on numerous sites, e.g.,
www.facebook.com/larafabiantonautre/photos/a.646180015435666/2428715557182094/?type=3&theater
Then Lara, on arriving in Moscow for her concerts,
with the caption, “Moscow, us two…I love you!!
And finally, a beautiful picture of Lara from the Lara Fabian – PHQ site,
www.facebook.com/larafabianphq/photos/a.353954938084519/1865255140287817/?type=3&theater
This coming week, Lara will have one more concert in Moscow (tonight), then she’ll be in St. Petersburg on the 10th, Voronezh on the 12th, then in Mintz, Belarus on the 14th. The week after she’ll have three concerts in the Ukraine. There was a video on-line discussing that, as we know, Lara demanded she be allowed to continue living in Quebec while working on “The Voice – la plus belle” in France; so after the Ukrainian concerts, she will get a chance to return home. It will be quite interesting to see how “The Voice” is going to work out her schedule.

In Moscow, from Lara’s actions preceding her performance of ‘Love Like a Dream”, it appeared as if Igor Krutoy was in the audience, which would not be a surprise. Again, Lara has indicated they are working on a new project. The Lara Fabian Connecting People FB site has a charming video of a duet they did, at a restaurant:
and Lara has a picture of them together at
