Vasily Tyorkin

In memory of Yevgeny Yevtushenko

The poem by Alexander Tvardovsky “Vasily Tyorkin” is a book about the war, written during the war, familiar to everyone from school—full of humor and soldierly spirit, and sometimes, painfully sad and lyrical. It was broadcast on the radio. Yevgeny Yevtushenko recorded this poem especially for listeners of “Radio Kultura.”
