My son showed me this site, he haveing grown up listing to you as a small boy knew how much it would mean to me.
Again thank you and I hope you have many more years to enjoy.

Dear mr. Kharitonov,
I am listening to your beautiful voice for over 45 years and it still touches me.
In our family we loved to listen to the legendary Alexandrov Ensemble.
I never knew what you looked like…now I know..thanks to the internet!
Greetings from Amsterdam, Holland.
Terve!!
Volgaboatmen on maailman hienoin laulu, olet hieno mies !!ja haluaisin tavata sinut, minulla Venäläinen vaimo st Petersburgista ja haluaisin tutustua Venäläiseen kulttuuriin, olen ollut Puna armeijan konsertissa Murmanskissa 1987 Suomi-CCCP sotilas ottelussa ja myös( putkassa!!)
mutta olet suosikkilaulajani!!!
Terveisin Timo Peitso from Finland
Mr. Kharitonov, you are a truly gifted artist and, judging from the video on YouTube where you thank your fans, an exceptional person. I think that we, your fans, can never thank you enough for your exquisite singing!
Best wishes from Greece,
Zoe
I am 19 years old, and some months ago I started being interested in Russian culture, folk, and music.
The I discovered de magic voice of Leonid Kharitonov. I still can’t understand how I had never heard from him, as one of the best man singer ever, with Placido Domingo, Pavarotti and so.
Many people are worried because they thing this culture, classical music, folk, will disappear.
While some young people like me still are, this greatness will be in our hearts forever and ever.
Thank you very much for existing, Maestro
Dear Mr. Mikhail Kharitonov,
Please accept my best wishes to you and Maestro Leonid KHARITONOV!
I am a Romanian journalist and an unconditional admirer of your work, meaning both the splendid performances of your father and the dedicated & intelligent effort of yours, using the Internet resources in order to allow people from all over the world and the new generation to take benefit from the exceptional masterpieces of Mr. Leonid KHARITONOV & The Red Army Choir!
I noticed that, regarding at least “The Song of the Volga Boatmen” film from 1965, you do not recollect the name of the german cameraman.
Well, as a modest homage for the delight of listening to Maestro Leonid Kharitonov and the Alexandrov Ensemble, I took the liberty to do some research for the cameraman. I so came to the conclusion that it is highly probable that beautiful film was taken (maybe also directed) by a certain Walter RIML. Could you kindly ask Maestro Kharitonov if that name rings a bell? Other elements: Walter Riml was a 2,05 m high person and he used to work both for German Director Leni Riefenstahl and for some U.S. directors. I think that it is very important for the public of your remarcable father and the Alexandrov Ensemble to recuperate all details regarding their masterpieces.
Respectfully yours,
Cornel Coman
Greetings from Argentina Mr. Kharitonov 🙂 My name is Belén, I’m 22 years old and I’m a huge fan of yours! I’ve known you for very short time, but it’s enough to admire you and your amazing talent. I specially marvel at your performances in “The Cliff” and “Ballad about Russian boys”. There are no words to describe just how much I like those. I LOVE the YouTube channel by the way =) All the best wishes to you and everyone around you!
Thank you, dear Belen, for the lovely comment! We’re very happy that the Maestro’s work of art brings you so much enjoyment. He thanks you and wishes you all the best!
Most illustrious Russian singer, Mr. Leonid Kharitonov.
I am from Brazil. I am a student of singing myself, and I must tell you that your voice and your vocal technique are sublime. The power your voice has grabs my gut. Ever since I heard your voice on a Melodija record back in the 1980s, I have found few, if any, singers that enthrall me.
May God bless you and your family.
Aderbal Soares.
Muito obrigado, Aderbal! Your warm words are very much appreciated by the artist.
God’s blessings to you and your family as well.
Beautiful voice and incredible stage presence. Are you still performing outside of Russia?
Thank you very much for your warm words! The artist has been retired since 2006, but is very pleased to be able to share his many performances via this web site with old and new fans alike.
Best wishes to you!
Hey i must say i love your songs, do its sad too hear what kind of music people normaly listens too today. I wish there where more people like you and i hope there will be in the future, the songs are so inspiring and the amount of feeling you put into singing the songs its like, well there arent realy a word for it i think. Long life to you Leonid M. Kharitonov
And is V. Kharitonov the father of you Leonid?
Thank you very much, Espen! Your comments are truly appreciated. To answer your question, V. Kharitonov is not related to the singer.
Best wishes to you!
Dear Mikahail and Maestro Kharitonov,
Thank you so much! Mikhail, thank you for putting your father’s works on youtube and the internet and sharing your dad with the world. I can only imagine the effort that goes behind the scenes getting it online and translating the songs into English. Because of your work I am able to share your father’s work in my humanities class. My students are always blown away the first time they hear your father, and appreciate all the songs I share with them in class. Thank you so much for your efforts and work!! Without you this would not be possible, and people in the US would not know about your father.
Maestro Kharitonov -- thank you so much for your beautiful songs and words, they are truly a gift to the world. You singing has not only inspired me, but it has inspired the students in my college humanities class. Personally I have to thank you for your songs. They have inspired me each and every day (I cannot go a day without listening to your music). You have touched my heart deeply and are an example and inspiration to me. Thank you so much!
I just watched the youtube video “Leonid Kharitonov’s Greetings and Thanks to his Fans” and would like to say, its not he who should be thanking us! we thank HIM for the songs and the music he has given.
I cannot speak a single word of Russian but find the music captivating and powerful. I offer my humble thanks to Leonid Kharitonov for all he has done.
Rich
Dear Rich. Thank you for your wonderful comments! They are greatly appreciated by the artist. He is very happy to know that his message and music have such a special meaning even for someone who doesn’t know the Russian language.
All the best to you!
Уважаемый Leonid Kharitonov,
Я шагаю через каждый день завернута в мантию из мерцающего бархата Вашего голоса, которая согревает и запрещает меня!
Большое, большое спасибо!
(Wow -- it was technical difficult in Russian …)
My best wishes to you from Germany!
(I hope you got my emails with little paintings of shining stars?)
Dear Leonid Mikhailovitch Kharitonov,
It’s a need for me from my heart to send a big THANK to You at second time, because I’m listening for your voice, your songs every day, since I heard and saw it at first time some weeks ago -- with deep impressions for me everytime, when I can listen to your strong and soulfull performances! I love many of your songs, I need them for my daily living, thinking and feeling. All that brings to me again a deep thinking about Russian an German history and about the meaning and real possibility of peace and friedship between all peoples of the world – and about the great power of art and love! Thank you so much for that experience!!!
I wish you all the best: Love for you and your family and health for your body and soul – and now a Happy easter too! (I so much want to write in Russian, I learned Russian language long time ago – but sorry – that is a technical problem with my “german” Computer and the functionally limits of mailing in that website …)
And dear Mikhail Leonidovitch Kharitonov,
Thank you so much for your good big work in Youtube and this Kharitonov-Website – for me (and I see, not only for me, but for a lot of people around the world!) a very important discovery! And because it’s important to understand better (the music for soul, the words for brain …), I need the words too – and so I hope, you can give us, please, the lyrics of one of my favourite songs “The long-range guns keep silent” too – if not in English, maybe in Russian – I myself can try to translate it! But I don’t find it out at Internet.
With Thanks and heartly-heartly-heartly regards from Germany!!!
Sir:
Years ago I saw one of your videos you were singing in on the Ars and Enterainment channel. You where in the Soviet Army, and wish I knew the song you were singing but since have found a lot of your work and enjoy it very much.
Richard Grant
Dear Richard.
Thank you very much! It’s great to hear that you so enjoy the artist’s work. The performance you refer to would likely be from sometime in the 60’s. Is the video on this web site?
All the best to you!
