About 500 fans gathered in Moscow's Gorky Park on Sunday for aconcert by Russian bands that featured recorded music by Madonna.The gathering was organized by Varyag, a Russian promotional firmthat has invited Madonna to perform in Moscow this summer.
Spokesmen for Madonna have announced no such plans.
Yellow posters of the singer hung from street poles on thecity's main thoroughfare, Tverskaya Street. Rumors have beencirculating for days that the American star would give a concert inMoscow.
"She sings wonderfully, she's unusual and she can dance," saidRima Romanova, a 17-year-old wearing jeans and bright pink lipstickand listening to old Madonna hits blaring from the park'sloudspeakers.
"Madonna has a strong personality; she's not like all theothers," she said. "She's one of the most popular singers inMoscow."
Russian superstars like pop singer Alla Pugacheva have enjoyedfame here for years, but Madonna fans say she is one of the fewfemale singers who has the guts, the smarts and the sex appeal tomatch her talent.
It is nearly impossible to find Madonna's music for sale inMoscow, but fans can have her songs recorded at special kiosks andsome stores for as much as 100 rubles, nearly two days' pay for theaverage worker.
Yuliya Beketova of Varyag said proceeds of any concert would goto help victims of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, as well as toRussian filmmakers and artists' groups.
Beketova also said the independently run firm had acquired therights to show Madonna's latest film, "Truth or Dare," in Russia.
