Arkady Severny (Zvezdin) (Аркадий Северный; Аркадий Дмитриевич Звездин) (March 12, 1939 - April 12, 1980) was a popular singer from Leningrad. He was very popular in the Soviet Union in the 1970s primarily because of his criminal songs. He sang more than 1,000 songs based on criminal folklore and literature. Severny worked with well-known Russian jazz and restaurant musicians. He recorded more than 80 albums, both solo and orchestral.

Severny was born Arcady Dmitrievich Zvezdin in the town of Ivanovo near Moscow. Contrary to popular belief, in his childhood years he was neither a hooligan nor a poor pupil. On the contrary, he belonged to the so-called "golden youth" with his father occupying a senior position with the Ivanovo railroad. The young Arcady did well at school, and loved to play the seven-string guitar. Thanks to a very good memory, he could perform a large number of songs. His older sister once gave him a thick copybook filled with song lyrics, including numerous prison songs; he quickly learned this peculiar repertoire and eagerly sang such songs in polite company.
