Vadim Alekseevich Kozin (@ВадимКозин , 1903 - 1994 ) was a truly amazing @Soviet artist who, during his @lifetime , went through peaks of @fame, near-total oblivion and @imprisonment, followed by waves of @admiration and @acclaim. He wrote more than 300 @songs . In 1939 Kozin with the @poet Yelizaveta Belogorskaya (@ЕлизаветаБелогорская ) wrote the @romance @Autumn (@Осень ), which would become one of his most famous works.
Throughout his life @Kozin kept a @diary, in which he described not only the @intimate secrets of his suffering @soul, but a @chronicle of an era @USSR as interpreted by one of the @grandees of the @Soviet stage. Through malicious @denunciation he was denounced as a @Kolyma @prisoner after the peak of his fame, and his songs disappeared from the @radiobroadcasting for a half a century. Kozin received his first eight-year @conviction in 1945. He was demoted in 1950 for good behaviour and good work. Nine years later he received a new @conviction . After his first release, @Kozin stayed in @Magadan , where he remained for the rest of his life. @livemusic
