Favorites: Poems, Songs, Ballads

«Atlantis», «At the Pillars of Hercules», «The Sky Over Canada is Blue», «On the Continent», «The Wife of the French Ambassador», «Rolls», «Snow», «Leather Jackets» («Song of Polar Pilots») — these songs by Alexander Gorodnitsky, written during distant ocean voyages and expeditions in the Far North, have long become popular, and the poet himself is rightly recognized as a living classic. His name is on the same list as those of Vladimir Vysotsky, Bulat Okudzhava, and Yuri Vizbor. Alexander Gorodnitsky's song «Atlantis Hold the Sky…» is the official anthem of the State Hermitage and the unofficial anthem of St. Petersburg. The works of the famous poet and bard are the subject of scientific articles and dissertations.
