Обзор

Перед вами настоящий кусочек истории — карманный песенник «Красная гвоздика», выпущенный в 1982 году в Киеве. В сборник вошли лучшие русские и украинские песни советских композиторов. Первая половина книги посвящена В. И. Ленину, Коммунистической партии и комсомолу, а раздел «Не покидает нас весна» наполнен более лирическими и современными на тот момент песнями. Отличная находка для коллекционеров советского винтажа и любителей музыки СССР.

Интересные факты

• Сборник получил название в честь знаменитой песни Льва Ошанина и Аркадия Островского «Красная гвоздика».
• Книга напечатана на киевской книжной фабрике «Жовтень» (Октябрь), которая располагалась на улице Артема.
• Это второе, дополненное издание сборника, выпущенное тиражом 80 000 экземпляров, что делает его редким историческим артефактом сегодня.
