Lydia Ruslanova. Soul-Singer

There is such a Russian proverb: From the Sumy and from prison will not be rooted. In the life of the heroine of this book there were a sum and prison, and there was also loyalty and betrayal, poverty and wealth, and joy and grief was neuroy. But the main thing is that it accompanied it from the small years to the last breath, is truly nationwide love. The writer Sergey Mikheenkov talks about a unique phenomenon in Russian culture, about how the orphans from the Volga village of Danilovka Praskovya Leukin, who asked Christ for the sake of rich Saratov houses in the courtyards, became an amazing way to a brilliant singer, an unsurpassed performer of Russian folk songs Lidia Ruslanov. Such a fate simply could not not give rise to legends and even non-pieces. A new biography, written on the basis of the memories of her loved ones, friends and relatives, opens up many unknown pages of the life of the Great Singer
