I am incredibly happy to finally download the songs from the files
section. I saw the movie "White Nights" in the eighties and wondered
for over twenty years who the singer was and how I could get his
music.
Vladimir Vysotsky was a singer of incredible passion. If only pop
singers nowadays had even a tenth of his power and emotion in their
voices.
All my grandparents were Mennonites from Denepropetrovk. My
grandfather was a veteran of the Russian revolution in the white army
(His uncle was in the Duma)
and of course many in my family were killed or sent to Siberia. My
grandparents immigrated to Canada in 1925 after losing everything to
the Communists.

Its a shame I don't speak Russian but from the first time I heard
Vysotsky, I felt like I was coming in touch with a little bit of my
soul. Anyone who listens to this music can't help but feel the true
deepness and passion of the Russian people!

Thankyou for starting this group!
