What do you think about V.V.?

I have heard some of his songs.

I like very much his songs.He was a singer,songwriter,poet,actor, and really,a bard, a folk undergroud star, a cult artist,somebody very important for soviet culture,and for the entire world. He had an unique style,he made social and political commentaries. He died very young,aged 42,just during 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow.A crowd went to his funeral.He had problems with alcohol and drugs.Married several times,in 1970 he married famous french actress Marina Vlady, with slavic roots. His grave become a site of pilgrimace. He had a great influence amongst poets and singers. I like a lot of his songs,but for me the las two lines of "БАЛЛАДА О ЛЮБВИ " (Ballad of love), are really great! Я дышу - и значит, я люблю! Я люблю - и, значит, я живу! (1975)

My dear Dad liked him. I remember a lot of his songs. He is great.

He was one of the most famous Soviet singers and songwriters. He have had a strong, deep voice. Somebody think that he was a good actor too. He was a important person inside SU culture, because his music was different and strange for people who lived in SU. I like him, and i strongly recommend to have his song in your music collection. Certainly if you want to understand something about SU music. He had written a lot of hits, and KGB couldn't do anything with him, because he was a very popular singer. KGB was the SU special service. They could do everything with everybody in SU. Although he have had a lot of troubles with the drugs, but people who have lived in SU love him, because he have had a rebel character and the widest Russian soul. I suppose i can't explain what we mean when we speak about Russian soul. I think it's something under our skin. Between 1922 and 1991 my county had a lot of problems with a liberty, and the SU culture has had a trouble with a censorship, but Vysotsky has written words what he wanted to say between his sentences. He could afford to say what he wanted to say.
