This was what was written by a fan soon after the death
of Okudzhava on June 12, 1997
"Okudzhava has left.... There is no
longer anyone to assure and convince us that the blue trolleybus will
pick up anyone who has crashed in the night. No longer anyone to teach
us how not to disappear alone. It was he who opened the tiny door to
freedom for all of us. On the tape recorder, one could record any kind
of songs, and not be forced to listen to the music that was being blown
into our ears by the public radio and television".
Listen to The Song of the Last Trolleybus which is one of his most beloved songs.
