Dissidents of the Soviet stage
19.99 €
The Soviet government, piling up absurd censorship bans, limiting rights based on nationality, suspecting every word and every note as an attack on its authority, thereby turned many representatives of creative professions into dissenters. The rejection of total control, bans and oppression, the search for freedom of expression pushed the heroes of this book to a difficult decision - emigration. Hence the title of the book, because the word "dissident" in Latin means "dissenter". This book is about those Soviet artists who, having found themselves in the West, remained faithful to the pop genre, and did not, like some of their colleagues, sing songs "for Odessa-mama". However, despite the fact that their repertoire remained neutral and did not contain any anti-Soviet direction, the very fact of emigration turned them into enemies, traitors and renegades in the eyes of the Soviet authorities. This book tells about how the lives of yesterday's idols in the West developed.
It is not only about those artists who remain the listeners' favorites to this day, but also about lesser-known ones. Emigrants real and internal, "non-returnees" and "returnees": Mikhail Alexandrovich, Jean Tatlyan, Eddie Rosner, Larisa Mondrus, Valery Obodzinsky, Eduard Khil, Vadim Mulerman, Zhanna Aguzarova and many others...
