Description

“For almost 20 years now I have been howling my little verses in concert halls of different cities and countries, everywhere there is a Russian-speaking audience, which is now everywhere. I thought that people could listen to me in the car or at home too. And thanks in advance to everyone who finds this interesting.”
Igor Guberman

Even those who do not realize it are often familiar with Igor Guberman's verses — a quality more characteristic of folk art.
The audio version of selected gariki performed by the author gives an excellent sense, first and foremost, of the intonation of these amazing quatrains. That very intonation that makes it possible to preserve dignity in prison and in the camp, that very intonation that allows one to remain human in any situation, and that very intonation which, ultimately, brought down empires.
