Nina Mozheiko: He was a simple, sensitive and honest man, say those who knew him personally. The singer and founder of "Pesnyary" brought together the brightest band and led him through several decades.

He became a pioneer in the genre of folk-rock. The glory of this team can be compared only with that of "The Beatles." Belarusian nightingales declared themselves modern interpreters of folklore. Mulyavin revived interest in the Belarusian folklore. He created his own musical style - folk-bit or folk rock. In the 76th Pesnyary went for a two-week tour of the United States. All the concerts were sold out. Billboard magazine would call this tour the invasion of Russian rock.

Leonid Bortkevich, the Honored Artist of the Byelorussian SSR, a member of "Pesnyary" in 1970-1980, 1999 - 2003: "John Lennon and Paul McCartney, they were with us in New York incognito at the concert. It was our first trip through 15 southern states. "

Then they earned millions in dollar equivalent. But all profit went to the state.

Alla Verenich, Director of the Directorate of library materials at BTRC "A little over a year ago we started digitization more than 3 thousand units of storage attributed to the golden fund of Belarusian television. We did not know of the existence of this unique exclusive material."

Artifacts of the creative life of the legendary band are kept in the museum of theatrical and musical culture. This is also a part of the image of the team.

Pesnyary was unusual even in terms of the appearance of the band members. Mulyavin was a poet and knight, with his unchanged gentry mustache.

Pesnyary stand out from other Soviet performers, both in terms of music and appearance.

Master is gone, but he left notes behind... and the last of them have never been performed.
