Vladimir Vysotsky´s burial place at Vagankovskoye Cemetery, Moscow.

***************
Vladimir Semyonovich Vysotsky (Влади́мир
Семёнович Высо́цкий) (January 25, 1938 – July 25,
1980) was a Russian singer, song-writer, poet,
and actor, whose career has had an immense and
enduring effect on Russian culture. The
multifaceted talent of Vladimir Vysotsky is often
described by the word bard that acquired a
special meaning in the Soviet Union, although he
himself spoke of this term with irony. He thought
of himself mainly as an actor and writer, and
once remarked, "I do not belong to what people
call bards or minstrels or whatever." Though his
work was largely ignored and suppressed by the
official Soviet cultural establishment, he
achieved remarkable fame during his lifetime and
to this day exerts significant influence on many
of Russia's popular musicians and actors who wish
to emulate his iconic status.

A cemetery is always an interesting place to visit and photograph. This one with its tribute of flowers to a man, an artist, who is largely unknown in the west, is interesting photographically. The informative note is a plus otherwise I wouldn't have known who he was. You have shown me a new place to visit.
