This guy with almost intranscriptable name in latin is one of the most famous Russian songwriters and performers together with his band "Aquarium". And now I found him covering "Alexandra Leaving". Very simple cover, just guitar and voice. It is written in the page that it's "Summer home recordings". It has not been released by cd, lp or whatsoever. Just mp3 on internet.

And... My oh my, "First we take Manhattan" - a little bit more sophisticated.

And who wants to check how he really sounds with his band I'd like to recommend a couple of pieces as well.
Song "Cardiogramma" from one of the latest albums.

and classical "Adelaida"

Enjoy!

Re: Boris Grebentshchikov covers "Alexandra Leaving"
By the way: Grebenshikov talked about Cohen in his weeky radio program "Aerostat" in October.
You can read what he said and which songs he played here. (in Russian)
And you also find a link to the radio station, where you can listen to the program.
