Zelenyye kholmy (Russian: Зелёные холмы, English: Green Hills) is the bootleg recording by the Russian bard Aleksandr Nepomnyashchiy. The album was recorded on the night of August 5, 2001,[1] on the shore of Lake Pleshcheyevo in Pereslavl-Zalessky, immediately after the "Otkrytiye" (English: Discovery) author-song festival.[1][2]
The release exhibits a marked thematic dichotomy, stemming from the inclusion of songs from both his early period and his later work: existential motifs give way to Orthodox-patriotic sentiments.[3][4][5] Music critic Gennady Shostak praised the album's pronounced melodicism, its profound lyrical and philosophical lyrics, and the sincerity of the performance. He also drew attention to the depiction of a swastika on the insert, a symbol whose interpretation remains ambiguous.[6]
Five of the tracks were later re-recorded for Nepomnyashchiy's final studio album released during his lifetime, Khleb Zemnoy (Bread of the Earth), released in 2003.
