Editor's Take:
Alla Pugacheva is the biggest pop star in Soviet and Russian history. She was a Moscow schoolgirl when she made her first recordings. Her 1975 song Harlequino won a festival in Bulgaria and made her a household name. Her songs mixed pop, rock and ballad and sold an estimated hundreds of millions of records. She acted in films and wrote many of her own songs. A Million Scarlet Roses became one of the best-loved songs in the Russian language. In 2022 she openly criticised the war in Ukraine.
