Biography
Vadim Mulerman was born on August 18, 1938 in Kharkov into a Jewish family. He studied at the vocal department of the Kharkov Conservatory (P. Golubev, V. Monakhov), later - in Leningrad .
He made his debut on the stage in Kharkov in 1963 , then he worked with the orchestras of Murad Kazhlaev , Leonid Utesov , Anatoly Kroll , Yuri Saulsky , in the Moskontsert and Rosconcert .
Vadim Mulerman became famous in 1966 : he became a laureate of the All-Union Competition of Variety Artists with the song “The Lame King” ( A. Dulov - M. Karem ). Due to ideological censorship, which saw in the song a hint at the political leadership of the Soviet Union, it was necessary to exclude the last verse from the song and change the name to “The Winning King”.
Tours, active concert activities, participation in television programs, as well as victories in song contests contributed to the growth of V. Mulerman's popularity. In 1968, the main hit of the year was the song by Vladimir Shainsky and Mikhail Plyatskovsky "Lada", which was performed by Vadim Mulerman. The song was so popular that many girls born this year got this name. Subsequently, “ Lada ” was even named the export version of the car “Lada” [3] .
By the end of the 1960s, Mulerman became one of the most recognizable and popular performers of the lyrical and civil Soviet songs.
In 1971, by the decision of the Chairman of the State Committee of the Council of Ministers of the USSR on Television and Radio Broadcasting S. G. Lapin , Mulerman was removed from the air, he was also banned from concert activities. The reason for the conflict was the inclusion of several Jewish songs by Mulerman in the repertoire against the backdrop of the political confrontation between the USSR and Israel, as well as some unpleasant moments of the singer’s creative activity related to “dubious ways of distributing tickets and organizing concerts” [4] . Subsequently, thanks to the assistance of the Minister of Culture of the USSR E.A. Furtseva , concert performances were again allowed to Mulerman, however, access to television and radio was not returned. The recordings of television programs and the phonograms of his performances were seized and, apparently, destroyed.
Mulerman was supposed to perform a song for the television movie " Seventeen Moments of Spring ." Director Tatyana Lioznova asked him not to sing “with his own voice”, but to adapt to Tikhonov . With this task, the artist coped brilliantly. But it was at that time that a scandal erupted around his "Jewish" repertoire. As a result, the song in "Seventeen Moments" was sung by the longtime rival of Mulerman on the stage - Joseph Kobzon . After that, the singers never performed in one concert.
