Dosiego Roku ! Happy New Year ! С Новым годом !

My „international" best wishes to my friends as well as all YouTubers who have been kind to visit my channel -- All The Best ! "Pod samowarem !", composition of Fanny Gordon (F.M. Kviatkovskaya) and Andrzej Włast - lyrics, 1929, Warsaw, became extremely popular in Poland, Russia and a few more European countries (U Samovara ! -- already on YT), in pre-war times. I should be thankful to Igor from Novosibirsk who -- in such a friendly way -- provided me with a few precious illustrations regarding "phenomenon of Samovar": 3 old photos from 1860's ("Dostoevsky's and Raskolnikov's times!") at 0:44 -- 01:03 Kazimir Malewich (1913) at 02:04 Kuzma Petov-Vodkin (1926) at 02: 08 Among others, I included two lytographs by B.Smirnoff at 02:15 -- 02:26 This record also 'endured' long and hard times, which can be sensed by its present state; I never change the real nature of a sound document, though.
