Юрий Маликов

One of the best producers of the USSR, a successful musician, and simply a happy person. He is the one who created the most popular vocal-instrumental ensemble in the Soviet Union. He devised a way of performing Soviet songs that made them beloved and truly folk. The permanent leader of VIA "Samotsvety," Yuri Malikov, became famous not only as a trendsetter of the genre but also as the founder of a musical dynasty. Today, he continues to engage in creative work: he is writing his second book of memoirs and meeting with fans.
