July 1 is the day of memory of the beautiful Soviet and Russian singer Lyudmila Zykina. She remains a real legend of the Soviet stage even today. Her voice was called the best in the USSR, and her songs were called the national treasure of a large country. Having lived a long and bright life, Lyudmila Georgievna managed to do surprisingly much in her lifetime. She sang at the best concert venues in the country; collaborated with the best composers and orchestras of the Soviet Union. She was applauded by ordinary people and high-ranking officials, chairmen of the Communist Party and foreign guests of the USSR. And one of her best songs is the song "Orenburg downy shawl".
In 1958, a Russian folk choir was created in Orenburg, and the staff of the local philharmonic society invited songwriter Viktor Bokov and composer Grigory Ponomarenko to write songs. They came to Orenburg, wrote several songs, but they could not write a piece of music that would become the heart of the program. But here the case helped.
Bokov and Ponomarenko went to the market in search of souvenirs, and the poet chose a beautiful and warm Orenburg shawl for his mother as a gift. “I imagined how a fluffy scarf would lie on my mother's shoulders on a frosty evening, warm her and remind her of me. And then, as if a thread of yarn, the words of the desired song were drawn,”Bokov said later. Ponomarenko liked the words of the song very much, and the song was born.
The singers of the Orenburg choir were the first to sing the song. When they went on stage in cobweb scarves and began to sing, the audience in the hall had tears in their eyes. But the song gained real popularity in the performance of the People's Artist of Russia Lyudmila Zykina. And the authors themselves believed that this is the standard, the best, performance.
We hope that fans of the Soviet stage will remember with pleasure also Claudia Shulzhenko - folk idol with a blue modest handkerchief.
