Mikhail
Krug was a famous Russian singer, an unofficial King of Russian
chanson. His most successful song «Владимирский
централ»
(‘Vladimir Central’) is
considered a kind of standard for the genre of ‘prison romance’. Mikhail
Vorobyov (real name of the singer), who was born in 1962 in Tver,
played guitar but never had a music education. In 1987, he became a
winner of a local music competition as a singer-songwriter. Two years
later, Vorobyov changed his surname to Krug and released his first
album Тверские
улицы (Streets
of Tver).
But the true
popularity came with the album Жиган-Лимон (Zhygan
Limon, 1994)
with
a hit song of the same name. The
biggest hit in Krug’s carer is «Владимирский
централ»
(‘Vladimir
Central’)
from
the Мадам (Madam)
album of
1998. Russian
chanson is a peculiar genre
of Russian music
praising
the romance of criminal life, love, and philosophy, and Krug was
the one who nailed it. Despite the presence of thieves’ slang in
his songs, Krug never been
to prison
and for
his lyrics, he used expressions from the secret police of the USSR’s
manual he accidentally bought at a flea market. Mikhail
Krug released a dozen of albums and compilations before his tragic
death at the age of 40. In 2002, he was killed at his own house. The
album Исповедь (Confession,
2003) had been released after his death.
