History
Lev Leshchenko (born February 1, 1942, Moscow) is a Soviet and Russian estrada singer known for a warm, instantly recognizable baritone. After army service as a soloist with the Soviet Red Army Ensemble and training at GITIS, he joined the Moscow Operetta Theater in 1966 and became a soloist of USSR State TV and Radio in 1970. His breakthrough came at the 1972 Sopot International Song Festival, and by the mid-1970s he was one of the country's leading pop voices. In 1975 he gave the first major performance of "Den Pobedy" (Victory Day), a song initially resisted by officials for its unconventional style, turning it into a Soviet standard still played every May 9. He also sang "Do svidaniya, Moskva," the farewell anthem of the 1980 Moscow Olympics closing ceremony. Over a decades-long career he has given thousands of concerts and recorded hundreds of songs, and in 1990 he founded his own theatrical-musical agency. He was named People's Artist of the RSFSR in 1983.
