I learnt a lot from this blog about a side of Russian culture that I've never had the chance to explore. Another fascinating point is that this шансон type of singing style (except for the somewhat slurred drunken diction) has also found its way into Christian worship music where it is often used to good effect by contemporary Christian churches. If you want to explore this side of (historically very recent) Russian culture, have a look at: http://songs.fleita.com/: some of the songs are straightforward translations from English, but occasionally with a wonderfully Russianised tune, while others are original Russian ones: they're the best, I think. My favourites are Анатолий и Богдан Байдюк. - Желаю всех благ, Hugh (Хью из Англии) Most interesting, Josefina.
