At the time of widespread phonograms, her project raised up the wave of LIVE-sound in Ukraine. The film “Wind bells of Olessky castle” became “The Film of the Year” at the TV-festival “Golden era” (1997). “The Tour about the Castles of Ukraine” (1999) attracted attention to the ancient castles of Ukraine, which are now under threat of being destroyed and need our attention and care. Zolochivsky castle restoration became a true award for Ruslana. “Sunrise” (“Svitanok”). “Sunrise”, both the song and video clip (1998), became the symbol of the singer. It was a discovery of the fairy world of Ukrainian Carpathians, scenes of Ukrainian sunrises. In 1998 Ruslana presented her first album “A Moment of Spring” (“Myt Vesny”).
