"Regardless of the fact that her name is misspelled on this page (correct: Pugacheva) and there is no information about an origin of the artist I think that anybody who would ever read this review is agree with the following. ALLA WAS AND STILL IS THE ARTIST FOR ANY RUSSIAN. LIKE SINATRA, LIKE THE QUEEN OF SOUL IN USA, SHE IS ALLA THE QUEEN OF RUSSIAN POP MUSIC. Listen and enjoy. Even though the songs are in Russian you will definetely feel the energy of her strongest voice. You will hear the history of the modern Russian music, some of the best songs from 70s all through the so-called post Perestroka"
Alla Pugacheva Is The Queen Of Russian Pop Music

"Alla Pugacheva, heroine to millions of Russians and eastern Europeans but is a total unknown to most of the rest. Communism has come and gone, but Alla has remained. She has been likened to Barbra Streisand for her ballads. Her longevity and penchant for thigh-skimming skirts draw obvious comparisons to Tina Turner.
Admittedly, it takes a Russian to truly appreciate her emotional ballads. But her songs, with lyrics by Russian poets, are far from banal. Undoubtedly, who just heard her songs would award her music a standing ovation or two!!!"

"Pugacheva is the most ppopular and respected person in Russia.I fell in love with her voice and personality when I was a kid.I lived in Moscow and her popularily was at its peak.Now she is one of the most important person in Russian history.She sold almost 140 million albums.In this compilation,some of them are cheesy and old fashioned, but most of them are masterpieces.She mixed pop,rock,soul,chanson and jazz with gypsy styled russian folk.And her great voice!Poweful and earthy.I believe this cd is must item for every music fans."
