Biography

I'm not interested in my voice at all. Back in time I was a film translator and so, now I'm recognized primary by voice, constantly asked about a clothespin on my nose. I don't like it. I'm not an opera singer and my voice is not in a slightest bit related to my individuality. They say it's a kind of history?.. Well, OK. But I live at present.

— Leonid Volodarsky

Volodarsky died on 7 August 2023, at the age of 73 due to heart failure.
