Vladimir Vysotsky is not just a legend. He is the idol of a whole generation of sixties. Moreover, not only connoisseurs of bards, but also the theater community and spectators who watched it from television screens. Vysotsky’s voice sounded from everywhere, it was performed by amateurs among friends. He was bright and charismatic. He is remembered even when we don’t like him. The collection “I Never Believed in Mirages” includes Vysotsky’s most famous texts.
