Vladimir Vysotsky- some say he was the Russian Jim Morrison, James Dean and Jimi Hendrix all in one... You have to hear him and then you'll agree!
When Vladimir Vysotsky died in 1980, his body was laid out at the Taganka Theatre, where the funeral service was held.
He was later buried at the Vagankovskoye Cemetery in Moscow. Thousands of Moscow citizens left the stadiums (as it was the time of the Olympics) to attend the funeral.
Although no official figure was released, it was later estimated that over one million people attended Vysotsky's funeral - almost as many as that of Pope John Paul II in 2005. The Soviet authorities, taken aback by the unexpected impact on the masses of the death of an underground singer, ordered troops into Moscow to prevent possible riots.
Who was that Russian hero?
