Music that unites generations." On November 9, 1929, Alexandra Pakhmutova was born in Katovka near Stalingrad.
Today is the composer's 97th birthday. She created music for more than 400 songs, including "Tenderness", "Hope", "A Coward Doesn't Play Hockey".
Many works were written in creative union with Nikolai Dobronbov. These songs talk about love, friendship, work and loyalty - and remain part of the shared cultural memory of several generations.
