The most famous song of Vladimir Vysotsky have been translated and performed in English. It has been over 30 years since the death of Vladimir Semenovich, but his poems still remain topical for a huge number of people. Soviet and Russian migrants and foreigners translate the texts of songs, films and performances, interviews with the participation of Vladimir Vysotsky in a foreign language.
To repeat well-known biography of this man, I will not, and will not argue about the correctness of his private and public life, the circumstances of the death. He lived his life the way he lived and not for me to judge the correctness of the choice of his life.
Vysotsky, you can love it or hate it, but knowing human creativity, which is a significant part of the history of Soviet culture, we have to. I'm not talking about knowing all the songs and roles by heart, but to have a General understanding of his creative activity is a must.
