Today, the name of Kirill Molchanov is familiar not only to professional musicians, but to the connoisseurs of music as well. Many people are familiar with the lines closely related to melodies: "Here the soldiers go through the scorched steppe ..."; "So many idle guys, and I love the married one..."; Wait for me, and I'll come back! Wait with all you've got!...”

Those lines and songs were remembered, undoubtedly, thanks to the melodies of Kirill Molchanov - a composer who worked in almost all musical genres.
