Russian Chanson
Russian chanson ( rus, русский шансон, r=russkiy shanson}; from French "chanson") is a neologism for a musical genre covering a range of Russian songs, including city romance songs, author song performed by singer-songwriters, and blatnaya pesnya or "criminals' songs" that are based on the themes of the urban underclass and the criminal underworld. History The Russian chanson originated in the Russian Empire. The songs sung by serfs and political prisoners of the Tsar are very similar in content to the songs sung in the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation today.

Blatnaya Pesnya
''Blatnaya pesnya'' ( rus, блатная песня, p=blɐtˈnajə ˈpʲesʲnʲə, "criminals' song") or ''blatnyak'' ( rus, links=no, блатняк, p=blɐtʲˈnʲak) is a genre of Russian song characterized by depictions of criminal subculture and the urban underworld which are often romanticized and have criminally-perverted humor in nature. Terminology In the post-Soviet era, ''blatnaya pesnya'' are marketed largely under the more generalized name "Russian chanson" (russian: links=no, русский шансон, russkiy shanson). Coined in the 1990s, "Russian chanson" has become a marketing neologism akin to world music. These songs are sometimes termed ''blatnaya muzika'' ("criminal music"), which is also the name of a guide to criminal slang used by NKVD agents, the predecessors of the KGB. Some collections identify these songs as ''ulichnaia pesnia'' or "street songs" (russian: links=no, уличные песни, ulichnyye pesni), allowing for the inclusion of pie ...
