In the 1950s and 1960s a free-thinking, often anti-establishment movement developed in Russia combining poetry and song. Bulat Okudzhva, a veteran of World War II military service, was one of the best known of these performers, known as Bards.

Arbat street in Moscow was the center of this popular and sometimes controversial art form. This statue stands near 43 Arbat St., Bulat's residence.
