Vladimir Vysotsky is my father's favorite singer. He (ex military from Bulgaria) used to go an train with soviet forces every summer (in some desert). But pretty much he grew up anti-establishment, listening to rock, heavy metal, and illegal vysotsky recordings (the ones soviet government would censure). One summer he came back with casette and some authentic recordings from him, but then my sister decided to sing Michael Jackson and have recorded her own singing over the casette :) - so it's all lost, but he's able to find now lots of material. It's interesting, how he really loves russian culture, was military, but despised communist, and oppressive regime. To this day he plays (maybe even now) the IL-2 sturmovik game, where with his german, russian, ukranianian, bulgarian and other buddies re-enacts the World War II period in flight (he was in the Air force, and I'm glad that he was never ever to become a pilot (due to his vision), as lots of folks from his age died in these planes, some fathers of kids I was in school...)
