I think this is very interesting album. When I bought it in the middle of 1980s, I was very impressed at this music.

I'm getting curious here. Yevtushenko is well known Russian Soviet poet (one of my parents' favourites), and I like some of his poetry a lot. I never heard about him as a composer. Is it him who wrote the music for this album or is the music written by other composer(s) and adapted for Yevtushenko's verses???

Music was wriiten by Gleb May. ARAKS played music, Yevtushenko recited his poetry.
I found out the album has been reissued on CD. You can listen it here: http://www.russiandvd.com/store/product.asp?sku=41975&genreid=

Prog + Yevtushenko = lyrics to PESNYARY's stunning 13-minute epic "VANKA-VSTANKA"
that's all I can contribute here ARAKS is a great band,but doubtfully Progressive.I must check them again (borrow from my father's cassete collection) |

...and it seems that everybody has forgotten... has forgotten the very first Soviet Prog album -- Po Volne Moej Pam'ati (1975).
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn... I mean, David Tukhmanov?

Yes, it's availavle on CD, and even in two versions -- the original one and the remake. The remake is slightly different and is not recommended as long as there is an original. I never heard the remake, I was only told it is not recommended. The original release (the CD of it, more precisely) is just wonderful, in my opinion. And there must be plenty of those CDs in shops...
At last, it may be simply interesting from the historical point of view.
But where is NotAProghead when there is a need to say a couple of words in favour of this album?

Now I'm here.
I agree "Po Volne Moej Pam'ati " (1975) is the first Soviet prog album released OFICIALLY in USSR. Highly recommended.
Prog-jester, your father should know it! Check his collection.
Here is the cover of original album:
Interesting link: http://csg.spb.ru/ZData//Tuhmanow/cover.htm
This one is remake, avoid it:

A propos Vera Lynn, by the way...
Has anyone heard Russian words in The Wall by Pink Floyd?

I know they mention Brejnev in 84's album...Do you mean that childlish chat in Another Brick in the Wall's coda?

No. You surely remember the yelling with the helicopter's rush as a background (in "Another Brick... part 2"). The text is: "You! Yes, you! Stand still, laddy!". I don't dispute this. I'm just saying that I hear (I swear) "Э! Я здесь! Там -- дело есть..." Listen and get convinced...

Heard something good about them, and heard one live track of theirs called "Concerto grosso I part 1 - Allegro" - so can't say much...

Great! You are the first person in some 20 years (since I've heard The Wall for the first time) who also hears these words...
