Description

A book by Vl. Novikov: a masterfully written, unadorned account of the life and work of Vladimir Vysotsky, our contemporary, a man whose voice in the 1970s–80s literally entered every home. From this biography, the reader will learn new details about the life of this restless soul—his rises and falls, passions and illnesses. The author goes beyond purely biographical frameworks: he thoughtfully analyzes the work of Vysotsky the poet, striving to determine his place in the cultural-historical context of the era.

The book was written with the assistance of the Vladimir Vysotsky Charitable Foundation and the State Cultural Center-Museum of V. S. Vysotsky.
