This is the best collection of Russian music ever. The music is selected carefully, and lovingly. You can find all the old-time favourites here - Vysotsky, Pugacheva, Nikitiny, Shulzhenko, Bernes, and Makarevich.

Listening to this CD is like visiting the music scene of Russia from the comfort of your home. The melodies are pretty, the words are heartwarming, and the overall impression is just great. I highly recommend this CD to everyone who wants to listen to great music.

I decided to list the tracks of the CD so the reader appreciates its richness.
