Michail Minsky, former soloist of the Don Kosaken Chor Serge Jaroff, gathered the youngest members of the old choir and some new singers around him in 1984 reviving the Ural Kosaken Ensemble. Four years after his death (9.10.1988 in Zwolle) the Ensemble was disbanded once more. Eventually, with help of Vanya Scholuch, the founder's son, the Ural Kosaken Chor is successfully resurrected in its old top form and - regarding a tradition of great reputation - going on extensive tours once more.
