Poems and Songs of Vladimir Vysotsky. A Song about the Anti-Semites.

Text.

Commentary to the song “Mishka Shifman”.

The poet’s words “if there was an alien (in his family in the poem, in his work in the in­ter­pre­ta­tion), he was but a Tatar” were fulfilled — the preparation of his poems and songs for this pub­li­ca­tion was performed by a man having Turkic blood in his veins, and most of them were ed­ited.

The song was written in 1972.
