Too Young to Die S02E02 - Vladimir Vysotsky

With his unique voice and his highly poetic lyrics, this singer, songwriter and poet became for many the "Voice of Russia" and his marriage to French actress Marina Vlady finally gained him international cult status. But Vysotsky was a spiritually minded critic of the system. He lived a restless and wild life: racing through Moscow in his Mercedes, wearing hippie clothes, smoking all the time, often drunk and taking drugs.
