Last weekend’s Tonight Show (Сегодня Вечером), a top Saturday programme on the main Russian TV Channel 1, was dedicated to the 75th Anniversary of Vladimir Vysotsky, the Soviet singer, songwriter, poet, and actor whose career had an immense and enduring effect on Russian culture.

Boris Vassilievich, good evening! How do you feel about the song that Vysotsky dedicated to you? » Boris Spassky: I just listened to this song. I must say that this song didn’t impressed me at all. The real drama of our match touched me so intensely, I felt all the small details. It seemed to me that this song… [Television Host: … over simplifies the situation?] Yes, in a manner of speaking… Television Host: And did you manage to meet and touch base with Vysotsky in person, and tell him that? Boris Spassky: You know, to my great regret, I didn’t manage to get together with Vladimir Semyonovich, in spite of the fact that we were both married to French women of Russian descent. It seemed that our paths should have fatefully crossed, either in France or Russia [Voice Off: …or in an airport], but that wasn’t to happened. Nevertheless, if I may say so, I was in a long-distance friendship with Vladimir Semyonovich, ever since my student days, because I followed him as a singer. Vladimir Semyonovich possessed the unique ability to find a path to the heart of every his listener. I think this unique gift brought him nationally acclaim. [Applause] Television host: We have heard in more recent times that at moments of great stress, Vladimir Semyonovich sought help from drink. And what about you, as a chess player? Indeed, you also need to relax. I know how huge stress you do experience before games… Boris Spassky: I didn’t experience any stress. I was sure I could win this match. Television host: So you didn’t experience any insomnia or something else? Iron nerves… Boris Spassky: Yes, I was in quite good shape [applause]. Nevertheless I was crushed by Fischer in this match. So, the real hero of this song is in fact Bobby Fischer, with whom I was on very friendly terms, by the way. He was my friend. Television host: But now you live in Russia, I cannot but ask you? Because you are really… [broken phrase] Boris Spassky: Yes, yes, I live in Russia. Television host: With France that’s it? You are finished? Boris Spassky: With France, yes… [applause] When I’m in Russia I miss France, when I’m in France I miss Russia. Likely, the same happened with Vladimir Semyonovich, I guess. Television host: If Vysotsky were alive today, to whom or what events would he dedicate his songs? Boris Spassky: This question is too difficult for me. So, I resign [applause]. I cannot answer it. Television host: Boris Spassky was not the only Russian whom Vladimir Vysotsky dedicated his songs… Closing statement by Boris Spassky [77 min 27 sec]: In my opinion, Vladimir Semyonovich possessed an advanced personal quality of the social responsibility (Voice Off: It is true). Notably, it’s felt in all his songs even just now… Copyright Golubenko/ChessBase Previous ChessBase articles on the Spassky plight Boris Spassky, fearing death, ‘flees’ to Russia 18.08.2012 – Since Thursday we had been searching for the 75-year-old former World Champion who, his wife told us, had disappeared from their house in Meudon near Paris.
