The Russian Voice

I just finished watching a three-part documentary on Vladimir Vysotsky, the Russian god bard. The video was grainy and kept skipping. The interviewers asked inane questions (“How old are you?”!) The entire movie was akin to a complicated puzzle put together by a two-year-old; yes, the editing was that unfortunate. … But, there were: The unmistakable Voice, the singing, the lyrics. There were answers to the questions that were worth answering, scenes from plays, stories about the songs’ origins. As usual, Vysotsky was awe-inspiring. But, judge for yourselves. Here’s a little clip from the movie; the song is called Save Our Souls.
