Nikolai Nikolajewitsch Dobronrawow
Nikolai Nikolajewitsch Dobronrawow ( Russian: Николай Николаевич Добронравов ; born November 22, 1928 in Leningrad ) is a Russian poet.
Nikolai Dobronrawov is best known as a songwriter. Most of his poems were set to music by his wife, Alexandra Pachmutowa . However, Dobronrawov also worked with Arno Babadschanjan , Mikael Tariwerdijew , Müslüm Maqomayev and other well-known composers. The settings of his poems were interpreted by Georg Ots , Iossif Kobson , Lev Leschtschenko , Maja Kristalinskaja , Edita Pjecha , Alexander Gradski and other Estrada singers. The high point of his work was the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, but Pachmutowa and Dobronrawow are still writing new songs today. Dobronrawov also wrote poems that were not set to music.
For his services Dobronrawov was awarded the Badge of Honor of the Soviet Union , the State Prize of the USSR and the Order of Merit for the Fatherland 3rd and 2nd class. Furthermore, like his wife, he is an honorary citizen of the city of Bratsk . Today Pachmutowa and Dobronrawow live and work in Moscow.
