from Time Magazine, 1930:
"Before the First War most typical of the gay luxuriance of Moscow was Yar's famed restaurant where gypsies sang and danced. A favorite at Yar's was Singer Nastia Poliakova whose deep, dark voice perfectly suited the purely emotional substance, the rambling, improvised style of gypsy songs. After the revolution Poliakova went to sing in a Paris cafe."
In New York in 1941-42 she waxed these priceless mementos of her art.
and from a Youtube site:
The name of Nastya Polyakova is unknown for those who love Russian romances, because she emigrated after the revolution. Nastya Polyakova was Varya Panina's apprentice. Firstly she sang in Panina's chorus in "Strel'na" restaurant, a few years later she started her solo career. And had a great success with Russian and gypsy romances and old gypsy camp's songs. Contrary to Yurij Morfessi, Alexandr Vertinskij and Nadezhda Plevitskaya she made only few recordings.
