Query: A Major Soviet Star

I first saw her perform in early 1977, when my parents took me to her concert, though I am not sure why they did it. I remember little of that event, but now that I cast my view over the whole span of Pugacheva's career, I think her earlier stuff was the best. R. Pauls wrote good songs for Pugacheva and she sang them very well when she was young.
