About the book: 2013 / Many books have been written about Vladimir Vysotsky. But Father Pavel Gumerov in his new book not only offers a Christian view of the work of the actor and poet and his spiritual tragedy, but also in detail, very kindly, illuminates the human, bright side of Vysotsky’s soul. Reports little-known and completely unknown facts from the life of the great Russian bard, and also raises a very little-studied topic: the influence of V.S. Vysotsky’s work on the souls of people, and the life of his songs after the poet left the earth.
