Mikhail Krug was a Russian singer, one of the leading singers of the style of songs known as blatnaya pesnya (songs about criminals), or shanson, which has been part of Russian culture since the beginning of the twentieth century. Mikhail Krug was born in Morozovskiy Gorodok, a suburb of the city of Tver on April 7, 1962. In 1987 Krug participated in a song competition, taking first place. As a result, he took up song-writing seriously. By 1994, he had recorded three albums, which weren't released officially, but hundreds of pirate copies were distributed.
