Vadim Alekseyevich Kozin (1903-1994). “Osen”=Autumn
Russian tenor vocalist and composer, born in St. Petersburg to a Russian father and Romany mother. Became popular in the 1920s and early 1930s, when Soviet musicians still enjoyed relative freedom and contemporary Western forms such as jazz and tango were accepted. Performed for troops during World War II, but fell out of favor and was condemned to a Siberian gulag for the "crime" of being gay in 1944. Was allowed to perform for Churchill at Yalta in 1945 at the British Prime Minister's request. Was released from prison in 1950 but forced to remain in Siberia through the end of the Soviet regime. Is best remembered for his interpretations of tango, which was popular in Soviet Russia during the post-revolutionary period of artistic innovation before the Great Terror.
Of course I knew the answer in advance—for Russian queers [Vadim] Kozin is an idol and a martyr. But I want the keeper of Kozin's memory to acknowledge it.

Vadim Kozin : Ехали цыгане (Russian Gypsy Folk Song)
РАСПОШЕЛЪ Вадим Козин Слова и музыка Николая Шишкина
Джень демъ мэ препочто, джень демъ мэ прововиръ, Имѣлъ мэ, имѣлъ мэ, эй, сила зуралы. Эхъ распошелъ, тумъ-ро сиво грай пошелъ, Эхъ, да распошелъ, хорошая моя!
Карикъ мэ наджава, карикъ мэ не пойду, Ке ту проминута уса мэ заверну. Эхъ распошелъ, тумъ-ро сиво грай пошелъ, Эхъ, да распошелъ, хорошая моя!
Черныя очи, да бѣлая грудь До самой зари мнѣ покоя не даютъ. Эхъ распошелъ, тумъ-ро сиво грай пошелъ, Эхъ, да распошелъ, хорошая моя!
Поденьте, поденьте бокалы вина, Забудемъ невзгоды, коль выпьемъ всё до дна! Эхъ распошелъ, тумъ-ро сиво грай пошелъ, Эхъ, да распошелъ, хорошая моя!
Ехали цыгане В. Козин
Ехали цыгане с ярмарки, с ярмарки Эх, остановились под яблонькой Эх, загулял, загулял, парнишка молодой, молодой…
