• Vadim_Kozin abstract "Vadim Kozin (Вадим Козин) (March 21, 1903 – December 19, 1994) was a Russian tenor.Vadim Alexeych Kozin was born the son of a merchant in Saint Petersburg to Alexei Gavrilovich Kozin and Vera Ilinskaya in 1903. His mother was a gypsy and often sang in the local gypsy choir. Their house was frequently full of musicians, exposing Vadim to tradition from an early age.He began to sing professionally in the 1920s, and gained success almost immediately. In the 1930s he moved to Moscow and began playing with the accompanist David Ashkenazi.During World War II he served in the entertainment brigade and sang for the Russian troops.In 1944, shortly before the birthday of Stalin, the police chief Lavrenty Beria called him up and asked why his songs didn't involve Stalin. Kozin famously replied that songs about Stalin were not suited for tenor voices. In late 1944, Kozin was sentenced to five years in jail as part of the repression campaign against prominent Soviet performers and was sent to Magadan. It was rumored however that the official reason to exile Kozin was a pretext to eliminate him from Soviet stardom because he allegedly was homosexual.He was initially released in 1950 and was able to return to his singing career. Though released once again several years later, he was never officially rehabilitated and remained in exile in Magadan until his death. Speaking to journalists in 1982, he explained how he had been forced to tour the Kolyma camps: "The Polit bureau formed brigades which would, under surveillance, go on tours of the concentration camps and perform for the prisoners and the guards, including those of the highest rank."In 1993, being interviewed by Theo Uittenbogaard in the TV documentary GOLD lost in Siberia, he remembered that he was released from exile temporarily and flown in to Yalta for a few hours, because Winston Churchill, being unaware of Kozin's forced exile, had asked Stalin for the famous singer Vadim Kozin to perform, during a break in the Yalta Conference, held February 4– February 11, 1945.As well in 1993, Anna Sadovnikova and Christian Gramstadt made a report (SAT.1)and a reportage ("Gold, Gulag, Gewalt", ORB, see: http://www.berliner-zeitung.de/archiv/schwermuetig,10810590,8844292.html) about the Magadan-Susuman area, which covered an interview with Vadim Kozin and recorded his famous Magadan song in his Magadan flat.His prison sentence deeply traumatized Kozin, leading to the cessation of his singing career. He even began burning his own records, to the point where his friends were forced to hide their own copies from him in order to preserve them. The Soviet government never officially rehabilitated him and his 90th birthday was celebrated in private among friends in Magadan. He died at the age of 91 in 1994.Marc Almond recorded the album Orpheus In Exile – Songs Of Vadim Kozin, in which he covers Vadim Kozin's songs. The album was released on September 7, 2009 to wide critical acclaim.".
