Red Stars tells the story of seven singers; Èdita P'ekha, Iosif Kobzon, Lev Leshchenko, Sofiia Rotaru, Valerii Leont'ev, Alla Pugacheva, and Irina Ponarovskaia. Their songs, broadcast on Soviet radio every day for decades and sometimes selling hundreds of millions of copies, tell the story of Soviet popular culture since the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953. Collectively the seven embody the efforts of a generation to fashion a new worldview.
