I've added "singer" before his name. I like the original hook the best too. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:09, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, well referenced. Most sources are in Russian, but English-language sources do not show close paraphrasing. A question: Using the Russian-language name stated in the lead, I was unable to find his name on the Honorary List in footnote 14. Regarding the hook, I would add a title like "singer" before his name to identify him. I like the original hook the best, with Tokarev's interesting-looking mustache in the picture. Image is freely licensed. ALT2 and ALT3 don't really make sense, as his given name isn't Vladimir, so I'm striking them. QPQ done. Yoninah (talk) 20:39, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * He is the 7th person listed ("Токарев Вилли Иванович / Поэт, певец, композитор / Решение МС №9-5/70 от 25.10.2006 г." = "Tokarev Willi Ivanovich / Poet, singer, composer / Decision ...")
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Thanks. I added his full name in English and Russian to the lead; please correct it if I erred. I struck ALT1 and removed the picture of Lenin. Foreign-language and offline hook refs AGF. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:27, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
