Alexander Galich (Russian: Алекса́ндр Арка́дьевич) (October 1918 – 15 December 1977) was a Russian poet, screenwriter, playwright, singer-songwriter, and dissident. In the late 1950s he started to write songs and sing them accompanying himself on his guitar. Influenced by the Russian city romance tradition and the art of Alexander Vertinsky, Galich developed his own voice within the genre. He practically single-handedly created the genre of "bard song". <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Alexan
