Twenty-five years later, the “bible of tape culture” is being reissued, dedicated to the golden era of underground recording from 1977 to 1991. The author of key books on the history of Russian rock, Alexander Kushnir, spent many years researching these times, when “amplifiers burned out, homemade guitars smashed on the floor, speakers flew out of the speakers, audiences flew out of the windows, and the administration left work.” Mike Naumenko, Shevchuk, Kinchev, Butusov, Mamonov, and Yegor Letov, who were creating outside the system at the time, recorded great albums “on their knees.” And the generation of the 80s lived a full life without MTV and social networks, listening avidly to these unique masterpieces via the “word of mouth Internet,” copying them from tape recorder to tape recorder. “Radio Africa,” “Blood Group,” “Separation,” “County Town N,” “Russian Field of Experiments.” One hundred exciting stories about the heroes of the “Soviet rock underground” seem surprisingly relevant today, since these artifacts were created not for the hit parades, but for eternity.
