At that time, the largest Soviet pop stars ( Mark Bernes , Muslim Magomayev , Alla Pugacheva and many others) performed in Zielona Gora, and for many Polish young artists, participation in the festival often became the beginning of a great musical career (for example, Urszula , Małgorzata Ostrowska , Michał Bajor , Izabela Trojanowska ).
