Overview
In the seventh episode of Silent Rock ’n’ Roll, Mikhail Kozyrev traces the reverse evolution of Russian chanson — from the songs of Galich, Okudzhava, and Vysotsky to contemporary performers such as Grigory Leps, Stas Mikhailov, and Vika Tsyganova. He examines the widespread support for the war among chanson artists and explores the reasons behind the enduring popularity of the criminal-themed genre in Russia.
