Vladimir Grigoryevich Zakharov (born 18 September 1901 in Bogodukhov, today part of Donetsk, and died in 1956 on 13 July in Moscow,), was a Soviet Russian composer. He was born near Donetsk in the present-day Ukraine. In 1912-1921 he lived in the city of Taganrog, where he studied at the Boys Gymnasium and attended music classes by Valerian Molla at the Taganrog School for Music. He graduated the Rostov Conservatory in 1927. His long-term connection with the Pyatnitsky Russian State National Choir (since 1932) gave him many chances composing choral music. Most of his songs are in peasant way. Even sometime later, no one can tell whether one of his famous song was a composition or an arrangement of a folk piece.
