Russian chanson

In our country today, chanson is understood as songs written by bards - songwriters. This genre will combine several musical styles: urban romance, thieves, emigrants, military and bard songs, which are united under the general name “Russian chanson”. The beginning of the nineties of the last century can be considered the origin of Russian chanson, or rather its revival. Before this, the term “chanson” was understood exclusively as a French musical genre. The first Russian chanson singers tried to imitate the French. The list of chanson performers of the Soviet period consists of such singers as Leonid Utesov, Alexander Vertinsky, Klavdiya Shulzhenko and others. However, after the collapse of the USSR, “chanson” began to be understood mainly as “soulful” songs about life in the “zone”, which were narrated in the first person - performer of the song. He was often identified with the hero of the story, which was the basis for the text of this criminal song. For the sake of poignancy, the lyrics contained thieves' jargon, and the song was performed with the obligatory hoarseness. Mikhail Krug, the performer of the famous song “Vladimir Central,” had never been to “remote places,” but fans of the genre saw him as their hero. These songs were especially popular among the “new Russians,” not only men, but also women. The heroes of these songs aroused the admiration of many representatives of the fairer sex, seeming to them the embodiment of sexuality and masculinity. Songs of this genre became widespread not only in Russia, but also spread throughout the world. The list of chanson performers consisted of bards, for example, Alexander Rosenbaum, whose songs are performed by many singers of this genre, for example Mikhail Shufutinsky, as well as guitarists. In the Soviet Union, songs of these genres were heard in cafes and restaurants, but their broadcast on television was excluded. After the collapse of the USSR, they even began to appear in the charts on television and radio, and later radio and TV channels of the same name appeared. Russian chanson today has reached such a level of development that since 2001, the “Chanson of the Year” award has been organized annually.
