President of the Link of Generations Charitable Foundation
“We have created the Velvet Season club, with the help of which we help people who have reached retirement age, not to be left on the sidelines of life, but to go further, develop, enjoy every day, relax, travel and even learn something new. I don't like the phrase " old man", I want to think of a new term for this age. In society, such substitute phrases are already circulating: people of silver age, the age of happiness, the time of fulfillment of desires, the age of wisdom, etc. It's nice that this issue worries not only me.
