Product Description
"Channeling Vysotsky: A Poet's Journey from Limbo into the Light" is a unique collection of channeled dual language messages and cultural study. All spirit messages appear in Russian original and in English translation. The spirit communicator Vladimir Vysotsky (1938-1980), a Russian celebrity, performing poet and actor, spoke that he was murdered and did not die from a heart attack as the official version stated. He spoke about his life on earth, the “firewall” of Party-created restrictions, fanatical love of his fans, his mistakes and regrets, alcoholism, womanizing and difficult relations in theater. He dictated splendid poetical improvisations (to the author who haven't written a single line of poetry during her 70-year-long life). Vysotsky also gave an astounding analyze of his theatrical roles – Hamlet, Galileo, Lapakhin (“The Cherry Orchard” by A. Chekhov) and Svidrigailov (a theatrical version of “Crime and Punishment” by F. Dostoyevsky) on the stage of legendary Moscow Taganka theater. As an insider Vysotsky reveal never-discussed-before aspects of Russian-Soviet cultural life. These messages pose the problem of the true nature of spirit communication, as they convince that death catapults our consciousness into a different dimension of our existence. In English only appear the chapters about the author's search of the truth about the spirit communicator’s identity during her meetings with English-speaking professional mediums. In English only are written chapters that analyze Russian and Soviets’ cultural problems that birthed Vysotsky's phenomenon and his enormous popularity. In English only are added 50 pages notes that explain facts and expressions that are familiar to Russians and not so familiar to English-speaking readers. These notes were originated by the questions of three English editors who worked in this book. The author turned her answers into the notes. This book will appeal to anyone interested in mystery of inter-dimensional communication. It is a perfect read for students of East European studies, as well as to everyone who cares about diversity of world culture.

An excellent book about afterlife
Rating  (5)
Date: 2006-07-14
This book told me that in afterlife the person remains the same as he was in his terrestrial existence. Probably, his personality stays intact for a long time. Vysotsky continues with poems that sound familiar -- as if written on earth. After his death, he is still interested in the same subjects; he loves and hates the same people. However, in afterlife, he sees things deeper and grows to the final summary of his life - the concert on an astral stadium. Now the spirit communicator has to move on to a higher dimension, and the contact is not possible any more.
As a person who had lived in the former Soviet Union, I was impressed by the preciseness of the descriptions of bizarreness and abnormalities of day-by-day life in the former Soviet Union. The Russian spirit messages in original and their translation in the English are not always literally same. I think, the author was right when in translation she stressed things that wouldn't be understood otherwise. The details are presented in a way that both groups of readers - the English-speaking readers and the Russian-speaking readers will understand them according to their preliminary knowledge of the subject matter. The text is fluent in both languages, as it would be expected from a writer used to be published in three languages - Estonian, Russian and English. Definitely, this book, providing complex picture of after life, will help English-speaking world to see connectedness of both worlds, where the Russian passion to survive is stemming from. It will help Russians to find their identity in this swiftly changing world.

Clearly a Labor of Love

If you have ever wondered about the great Vysotsky, here is the book for you. Tatyana has explored this poet from every angle, and her observations are fresh and fascinating. You can feel the inspiration pop off the page as if this were a fragrant loaf of bread she had just pulled out of the oven.
Wish I could read the Russian, too! But just reading the English portions of the book, it's a triumph.
