Lyudmila Zykina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

She was born in Moscow and joined the Pyatnitsky Choir in 1947. Coincidentally, her surname is derived from the Russian word for "loud" ("зычный"). Beginning in 1960 she performed solo. She befriended Ekaterina Furtseva, the powerful Soviet Minister of Culture, and was reputed to be a favourite singer of Leonid Brezhnev.

Among her many honours were the Lenin Prize (1970) and Order of Lenin (1979) as well as the titles of People's Artist of the USSR (1973) and Hero of Socialist Labour (1987). According to Dmitri Shostakovich, Zykina was "more than a brilliant interpreter, she was a coauthor, co-creator of composers".

Her signature songs include Techot Volga and Orenburgskii platok. The asteroid 4879 Zykina is named after her. Lyudmila Zykina died on 1 July 2009 of cardiac arrest after suffering a heart attack.[1][2][3][4]
