Yuri Vizbor's favorite heroes are pilots, sailors, mountain climbers - but what difference does it make what their profession is?! The main thing that unites them is that they are real men, for whom the concepts of Friendship, Honor, Dignity, and Duty are not empty words. These people are brave, reliable and faithful. “He loved strong, courageous and kind people, and he himself was courageous and kind in his art,” Bulat Okudzhava said about Vizbor. – Loud phrases and false significance were alien to him. His lyrical hero, prone to self-irony, perfectly corresponded to the heartfelt music, the need for natural listeners, not succumbing to empty entertainment, thirsting for spiritual cohesion and warmth.” The songs of Yu. Vizbor that made up this book have forever entered the classics of Russian art song.
