Non -fiber conversation. Tanich M.I.

“Textile town”, “I will go to the far station”, “How good to be a general”, “Black Cat”... so different, but invariably western songs. Their author - Mikhail Tanich - lived a difficult life. He fought, reached Berlin, returned with a victory, entered the institute - and received six years of camps by denunciation. Here he was lucky - he did not die, withstood, returned (though with the stigma of "struck in his rights"). He worked as a foreman at the construction site and the Lithuanian employee in the district newspaper...

and all this time, starting from childhood, wrote poetry. And then his poems became songs that was given the life of Joseph Kobzon, Alla Pugacheva, Larisa Dolina, Lev Leshchenko, Laima Vaikule, the Lesopoli group and many others. And of course, the whole country sang and sings them today. Probably, in order to write such songs, it was necessary to go all this difficult path and keep a living soul in yourself. How this real poet did this - Mikhail Isaevich Tanich.
