Larisa Rubalskaya — a renowned poet and songwriter. Many songs with her lyrics have become golden hits performed by the brightest stars of the Russian pop scene — Alla Pugacheva, Valery Leontiev, Irina Allegrova, Alexander Malinin, Mikhail Muromov, Philip Kirkorov, and other popular artists. The collection includes selected poems from different years, including those set to music: «Strange Woman», «Unnecessary Words», «Hijacker», «Sokolniki», «Little Daughter», «I Am to Blame, I Am to Blame», «Turn the Clocks Back» and others. Regarding the songs that have gained nationwide love, the poetess says: «These songs are objectively good, not accidentally promoted. They are not backed by money or connections; they exist by themselves... Moreover, the songs are chosen by good artists, which is why their lives turned out to be long. It also depends on whether the retro has become the author herself.» What is the creative secret of Larisa Rubalskaya, her everlasting success? Perhaps it lies in the fact that in her poems she conducts a candid conversation about life, time, and love; sometimes there is a sense of sadness, sometimes irony, but it is invariably imbued with hope for the better and faith in goodness.
