Timeline

1934

Yuri Iosifovich Vizbor (Юрий Иосифович Визбор; June 20, 1934 – September 17, 1984) was a Soviet bard and poet as well as a theatre and film actor.

Vizbor was born in Moscow where he lived for most of his life.

He worked as a teacher, a soldier, a sailor, a radio and press correspondent, a ski instructor, and an actor in many Russian films and plays.

He participated in and documented expeditions to remote areas of the Soviet Union.

His compositions included songs, poetic prose, plays, screenplays and short stories.

Vizbor's father, a commander in the Red Army, was of Lithuanian descent.

His family name was originally Vizbaras.

His mother was an ethnic Ukrainian from Krasnodar.

1937

In 1937, his father fell victim to Stalin's purges.

1941

In 1941, Yuri and his mother moved to Siberia.

This period influenced the artist's distaste for politics and his fascination with the wilderness.

1950

In the late 1950s and early 1960s Vizbor began to acquire fame as a songwriter by circulating homemade tapes.

Vizbor is often compared with his contemporaries, Vladimir Vysotsky and Bulat Okudzhava.

The topics of Vizbor's songs were observational, focusing on his love of nature and of travel.

By using his extremely varied professions as a template, Vizbor attempted to document various aspects of "normal life" at the height of Brezhnev's era of stagnation.

His trademark was a relaxed singing style that often sounded on the verge of laughter.

Vizbor recorded songs with a traditional Russian seven-string guitar that was often slightly out of tune.

While most Russian bards relied on a rhythmic strumming pattern as the basis for their musical accompaniment, Vizbor was fond of a slow plucking style epitomized by songs such as "Fanskie Gory".

His best-known tune was a romantic ballad called "Milaya Moya" or "My Dear."

On a more somber note, his song "Seryoga Sanin" told the story of a free spirited friend who dies tragically.

1951

In 1951, he graduated from high school and after several failed attempts to start studies in several high-ranking universities (he was denied the place as the "son of the enemy of the People") was accepted as a student of the Moscow State Pedagogical Institute.

It was here that he wrote his first song, entitled "Madagascar".

1955

After graduating with a degree in Russian language and literature in 1955, Vizbor worked as a teacher in Arkhangelsk.

1957

In 1957 he was conscripted to the army where he worked as a radio operator.

1958

He married in 1958.

1984

In March 1984, Vizbor wrote his last song, having written over 250 of them during the past thirty-three years.

His poetry had also been set to music by numerous musicians.

His last writings were letters to his daughter from his sickbed while he lay dying of liver cancer from April to September 1984.

A minor planet 3260 Vizbor discovered by Soviet astronomer Lyudmila Zhuravlyova in 1974 is named after him.
