The article published on the website rbth.ru is headlined Vladimir Vysotsky: Hamlet with a guitar. It carries a lot of comments on Vladimir Vysotsky, the Soviet prominent musician who has become a cult figure in Russia like his western counterparts Jonny Cash or Bob Dylan did in America.
In addition the author of the article mentions that among all Soviet musicians, Vladimir Vysotsky is one of – if not the – most popular,he is also the one whose place in history and in the hearts of Russians has grown the most over the years;his blue Mercedes and his style of singing have made their way into the Russian emotional landscape.
In this connection it’s worthwhile mentioning that since his death 31 years ago, displays of admiration have multiplied: Statues of the troubadour have been erected in Moscow and Yekaterinburg; numerous Ph.D. theses have been written about him along with books, biographies and song collections; and his grave in the Vagankovskoye cemetery always seems to be draped with fresh flowers;in addition to his grave, fans make a pilgrimage to the State Vysotsky Cultural Center and Museum, located next to the Taganka Theater, where the artist's photographs, documents, suits and manuscripts are displayed.
Speaking of this situation it is also interesting to note that the latest tribute to him is a film,on Dec. 1, the film Vysotsky, Thank You For Living was released, produced by Konstantin Ernst and Anatoly Maximov, it took almost five years and $13 million to make,screenwriter Nikita Vysotsky, who is also Vysotsky’s son, emphasized at a press conference that, although based on real-life events, this is a fictional film featuring a dramatic time in Vladimir Vysotsky's life: His tour in Uzbekistan in 1979 when he had a near-death experience. He died almost a year to the day later.
The author concludes the article by saying that Vysotsky's unorthodox fame and his extravagant ways – including owning a Mercedes and marrying French actress Marina Vlady – caused suspicion and env, but he played the system, doing concerts throughout small cities and announcing his performances just a few hours in advance so that local authorities would have no time to consult with Moscow on whether to ban them or not.
As for me I think that the film  Vysotsky, Thank You For Living is definitely worth seeing , because Vladimir is a part of the Russian history , a great number of people admire him and  he still has a plenty of fans among Russians.
