Yuly Kim is one of the brilliant first generation of Soviet singer-songwriters, or bards. His name is rightfully listed among such greats as Vysotsky, Okudzhava, Galich, Vizbor, and Matveeva... He has won the Okudzhava Award and the 2015 Poet Award.
Kim's lyrics have been set to music by many well-known composers and performed by some of the best Soviet actors in theater productions and movies, such as An Ordinary Miracle, 12 Chairs, Bumbarash, and others. These songs are widely known and very popular. Kim's portfolio also includes dozens of plays, stage adaptations, and librettos, performed on many stages.
Kim always focuses on the social and political problems and issues both in his home country and around the world. Many of his songs, as well as three plays (including Moscow Kitchens) were considered seditious and banned by the authorities.
