In the west, called Edward Gil "Mr. Trololo" and the happiest man on earth. Singer suggested competition: compose verses of the song - every verse in the language of the various nations. The competition was arranged not to win, but for the sake of friendship, - said Gil. - There are verses in French, German, Spanish, Tatar, Chinese - only 260th We chose ten finalists. All poems - in a good mood, wants everyone to go home. I like the words of a girl, she is from the Ukraine, but wrote in English: Or, in Spanish, "I am your song all over the world, every edge, to say the verse.":. "The problems come and go running, the money out, they run away, but the most important thing in the world is love "- In America they call you the happiest man on earth. Do you agree with this opinion of themselves agree? - The song was recorded in 1966 - says: "interlocutor" Gil. - Americans say: "You have been at this time of censorship, recently arrested and dissidents exiled where such exuberance?" Explain. When I sang in front of his eyes were no empty shelves, and the first flight into space to win the opening of our scientists Irina Rodnina with tears in his eyes.

During a concert, it has happened. Generals do not like the song, I was punished, removed from the air - not on TV, not on the radio. I remember Gagarin came to me after the event: "How are you, Eddie," I say, "Oh, nothing, thank you, Yuri, you asked the song I sang, and I was punished." He then went to the Minister of Defence: "Why are you him It's not our song, and NATO generals?" Ministers agreed: "Yes, it is necessary to award Gil ..." - You told this story At a meeting with the President, if he makes you the Order "For Services to the Fatherland." - Well, yes I told him: "Finally, I got" and recalled the history of the generals. He laughed, of course. - They survived the war, repression, which was the worst memory? - During the war I was in an orphanage in the Penza region. A girl, she was about 11-12 years, found that the lack of bread ration grams She talked to everyone, and we have not bread, weighed, instead of 100 grams was 60 or 70th Said an adult, and in the morning came the woman. She worked in the kitchen, the chef is from, fed bread to save on children, their pigs and cows. Men who ate ... Each of them stayed in the family. It was the worst time in my life. A joyful ... When maneuvering, a sailor behind the train. He took us about 50 orphans, the market, it turned the tables grandmas with seeds. All gone, mixed with snow, and the boys flew like sparrows. Here I am talking about, and I remember the feeling of joy to tears. - They are aware of their parents? - Of course, my mother found me in the beginning of the 44th Year was taken from the children at home in his native city of Smolensk. The city was not only ruins, but still remained famous Smolensk Cathedral. We lived about 25 miles from Smolensk in the village Belenko. Grandparents, fattened and then we worked - everything, everything, and the kids too. Was destroyed all the cattle, and the women of 5-6 people were used to pull a plow or harrow. Baba pulled something and sang with tears. - How did you get started singing? - Part of the Choir Boys Choir of Leningrad. I asked my grandmother what it was. I had a good ear, I could hear the song and it's easy to sing. Here genes helped my grandfather his father sang well, his father had a good voice. I studied in Leningrad in the graphic arts college, when my friend got tickets for the opera "Rusalka". The music, the voices have made a big impression on me, I began to collect art songs, arias, and suggested a dish Chaliapin sang a duet with him. - His love, too, met in the opera? - Of course! In the summer of '58, I was singing in the Opera Studio of the Conservatory Figaro's aria, and Zoe danced. I began to worry, and 1st December we got married. There was no money, and I remember the whole month bought a little snack, wine for the wedding out, "pull" mandarinchiki. Were married on New Year's. The first purchase was - a small TV with a lens. - Who is it so hard scales played in the next room? - This is Edward, grandson, he is 13 years old, he is engaged in the chapel, also participated in the competition, read the words of the verse in Russian. - The dynasty continues? - The son Dima writes music, takes precautions goes grandson school choir.
