This guy is one of the most known and be-loved artists in Russia, even today. In my memory he was singing about climbing, war, sea, Stalins crimes and daily problems. My farther loves his songs. He played theatre - afaik his most famous role was Hamlet at the Taganka theatre in Moscow. I learned that he gave multiple concerts in Dubna - unfortunately I never attended any. The monument is just in front of the culture house (dom kultury) where he performed.
