Meeting at a Distillery - 44:18 On November 6, 2020, news came from Moscow: the writer Mikhail Zhvanetsky had died at the age of 86. I never had the chance to meet him, but like millions of people, I was a fan of his brilliant talent. This sad event brought back several memories associated with Zhvanetsky's name and the history of Russian pop music abroad. Few, even among collectors, know that back in 1982, Evgeny Konev's label, Russian & International Songs Records, released a vinyl record in the USA, "Risky Jokes," featuring recordings of the satirist's monologues. Today, as a tribute to the great satirical writer, I present to you a recording from this disc from the collection of Andrey Zelenev. You can find interesting details about the release of this record at this link: http://www.kravchinsky.com/news/umer-... Another interesting fact about Zhvanetsky's name: on the album "New Intelligent Odessa Songs," recorded in 1984 in the USA, the song "Letter to Misha Zhvanetsky" is performed by émigré singer Nikolai Mirvis.
