On January 25, 1938, the popularly beloved artist Vladimir Vysotsky was born. A famous actor, bard, author of hundreds of songs would have turned 78 today. His work and personality left an imprint on a whole generation of people who grew up "on Vysotsky." Vysotsky wrote about 700 songs and poems, played about 30 roles in films and created many wonderful images on stage, his performances gathered full halls.

Today, Vysotsky’s songs are sung by famous artists of the country. Poems do not lose their relevance over time, continuing to live.

This is not the first television project dedicated to Vladimir Vysotsky on the Zvezda television channel. Last year, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory, Sergey Bezrukov, Dmitry Kharatyan, Alexander Marshal, Zara, Ekaterina Guseva and Alexander F. Sklyar performed the poet’s popular military songs.

On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory, the STAR channel created the television project "Vysotsky". In the film pavilion, with minimal use of scenery, against the background of fragments of military newsreels and shots from the life of Vysotsky, famous singers, theater and film actors perform popular military songs of Vladimir Semenovich. At the same time, each artist has his own Vysotsky song, which they “experience” on the stage very individually, as they feel and understand the author’s intention, using, among other things, their own music arrangements and acting skills. The personal moods and inner feelings of the performers are very important. They are all artists with a capital letter, so Vysotsky’s songs in their “reading” receive new emotions and feelings of empathy with the heroes of the poet’s texts.
