"Team of the Union" - chanson in its purest form! National team of the union Biography of Vitaly Sinitsyn from the team of the union.
Who doesn't love Russian chanson? Of course, there are such renegades from the common trunk of modern Russian culture who ask the taxi driver to turn off Shufutinsky and do not like Trofim. They even on Twitter sometimes write how these same taxi drivers dropped them out of the car in response to a request to change the record. But even these people frantically begin to look in their pocket for a handkerchief to wipe their tears of joy when they hear the songs of the Union Team group.
Russian chanson
Blatnaya song and chanson is an organic part of the diverse Russian culture, close to almost everyone. In many families, someone either sat or planted. And somehow it turns out that the songs of the "Union Team" in the style of "And on the black bench, on the dock ..." entered the mental space of the people as a characteristic of courage, prowess, luck. Robbers have been welcomed in Russia since the days of Stenka Razin and Emelka Pugachev.
Moreover, it should be borne in mind that the chanson has as its ancestor not only prison or thieves' lyrics, but also urban romance, military and White Guard songs - almost the entire population of a vast country: from convicts to grand dukes - such music is close to everyone. This determines the genetic love for chanson in 99% of the Russian population.

“I wrote my first rhyme on an empty pack from Prima. It was a poem about captivity, about childhood, about mother. In 25 years, I will write about my first hour behind bars: “ Time burst like an egg, the shell of years, and above the head - a ring, a poet hatched naked”, - Evgeny Zhurin recalls, who is grateful for life experience for everything. After all, it was in prison that he realized that his vocation was to be a poet and musician.
“There were highly educated people among the prisoners. Professional musician Eduard Slivko, who was serving a sentence for non-payment of alimony, taught me to play the guitar. A teacher of literature, a professional poet and journalist who killed a fugitive convict with an ax in his dacha, taught me the basics of literary poetic understanding, - Zhurin shares. - And all by himself, sixteen hours a day. He wrote poetry, composed music.
For two decades, the Union Team has achieved unconditional recognition. “Now we are doing well. Our strength is in unity. Today in Vologda we have all the technical capabilities to record high-quality European-level music. The range of our songs is from chanson to rock. I do not compose to order, so all my songs are a natural and honest product of my creativity. Vitaly Sinitsyn is a great arranger, a unique performer of songs and the same hard worker as I am,” says Evgeny Zhurin.
