"On January 25, 2008, Vysotsky, who continues to be debated to this day, would have turned 70 years old. This publication is the first collection made not by “fans,” but by qualified literary scholars (compiled by Vladimir and Olga Novikov): all the texts are verified and annotated. “Many authors have collected works, but quantity does not always translate into quality. Only in fortunate cases do the works of one author form a kind of bible (“bibles” in Greek means “books”). It worked out with Vysotsky. We will open his four-volume book more than once to look for answers to the questions of the third millennium.” Vl Novikov
