[@sauronartano8880]

Guy, your Russian is just wonderful, for me personally as a Russian

[@peroskarstorholm4196]

Thank you so much for this video and channel. I’m from Norway and I was first introduced to russian rock music on a norwegian tv-show about the subject in 1991. I was very young (11) and very fascinated by the fact that there is a lot of good rock music in the world we never get to hear because it’s just not distributed in Norway or most of the western world. Over 30 years later and it hasn’t gotten much better so it’s great to find this. Thanks again 😊

[@swiftysnail9053]

Found you through your rym account and I just wanna say that this is a super high quality video, thank you for introducing me into a genre I've been interested in for a minute

[@fkat1666]

Kino was amazing, sad we lost Victor so early in his life.

[@user-qr8ti7xi5d]

"Spinki menta" - без адаптации на англ. язык 😂 А вообще - классный ролик. Много чего узнал нового.

[@CyberpunkChanel]

So sorry what this video got so few views. This great content and very high quality editing deserves so much more

[@georgedantz3617]

Your documentary on Soviet post punk was very informative and interesting. From just a few of the comments I've read here, you not only shined a light on these bands/performers for a western population, but also, for people from those areas of the world as well. Great work!💯👍

[@wrongIQ]

Your video is like a real post-punk. Loved by the few, hidden gem!

[@LittleBoxOfWeird]

Really cool video! I know a decent amount about UK/US post punk but now I'm trying to learn more about its history in other countries. Really interesting and gave me a lot of bands to look further into, great job!

[@kuxarka1857]

Хорош мужик, половину этих групп не знал, теперь может послушаю. Продолжай в том же духе. Было бы неплохо рассказать о постсоветском пост панке. Там тоже много интересного

[@melodybuffet1184]

Thanks for the idea, will definitely make a video continuing this topic.

[@Ogledalo79]

Whoa, that's a pretty extensive video essay, covering such wide range of bands. Thank you so much! Definitely had heard several new names. I've been interested in 80s soviet music for years, and I know about only 70% of bands you featured in this video. As for the favorites, which probably didn't land in your other videos or compilations, I would like to point out: Иванов Даун / Ivanov Down - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmKuh2SZgb5jhsk They were from Kyiv, playing mostly mostly atonal / noisy / no wave-ish stuff. Definitely check their "Best Urban Technical Noises" album. Хуго-уго / Hugo-Ugo - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaqWaKWdd9mEoKssi=kRMMvSB0NZ7fdf9J They were from Tolyatti. Also some of their brighter and stripped-down tracks were recorded solely by their leader, Максим Котомцев / Max Kotomtsev - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eImlaoOheZqgfa8 Матросская тишина / Sailor's silence - kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3KQpJinpJ1kpbs At least one guy comes from Rostov-on-Don, others are from Moscow.

[@melodybuffet1184]

I actually want to make an entire video about Mattroskaya Tishina as they are one of my favorites, I just want to do it when I get s bigger following.

[@bodrjaga]

классная подача

[@user-sr8fj7lf7n]

Спасибо. Очень интересен посторонний взгляд на нашу музыку. Не знал многих из представленных в видео исполнителей. Здесь идёт речь про пост-панк, но кажется, что не хватает в списке Александра Башлачёва, которого, допустим, Артемий Троицкий считает величайшим исполнителем той эпохи, хоть он и причисляется к так называемому бард-року.

[@necroarchetype]

According to accent - not so external view. Sounds definitely like russian pretending to sound not russian. Great review though, who cares.

[@romanaleksandroff206]

так башлачев и не пост-панк - сам же говоришь

[@sneedelic]

very interesting video, it's amazing what can be done in artistically oppressive times, the human spirit isn't one that can be broken so easily, even in darkest of times we can always find beauty in the shadows

[@dariaavdeeva]

very nice informative video! great hello from novosibirsk

[@poidemkomnedomoy]

Храни вас Бог за ваш канал!

[@melodybuffet1184]

Thank you! Also great profile pic (Кирпичи тяжелы)

[@j.j.hyacinth7264]

Very, very much. Extremely enjoy this video. Fantastic job 😻

[@devenscience8894]

Great video. I wish more of this stuff was on Spodify. Beat Madness really reminded me of Oingo Boingo. Heat Commitee seems to be big fans of The Clash, or even Big Audio Dynamite. The very Alyans track you sampled at 20:12 is the only song in this video that I knew, and is on a playlist.

[@cantosdeviolencia]

omg you mentioned my city - Rostov-na-Donu, what a great research you've made!

[@pedrolima79]

You got picked by the algorithm man, got recommended here in Brazil. Great video🤙🏾

i absolutely loved this video

[@astrooophyllite]

Very nice, thank you!

[@bruhkebab4281]

Amazing video, once again very insightful. Would be very interesting to see more detailed follow-up videos on certain artists (like Kino or Letov for example)

[@oscarschwartz300]

Really interesting! Highly recommend!

[@kemitchell]

Классный ролик! If you keep going, I'd say give names both in original and translated. Easier to figure out алфавит than find search results for old Russian bands in English.

[@melodybuffet1184]

I have added the list of songs to the video description. Hopefully, this makes it easier to find the music.

[@ebbyaych]

very well made video, i seem to learn a lot when you're involved! thank you for introducing me to so much amazing music.

Very nice rewiev, thanks! ("Igry" and "AVIA" -- are both shard of "Strannye Igry", AFAICR)

[@cantosdeviolencia]

my favs from that period are definitely Durnoe Vliyanie, Zvuki Mu and АукцЫон 😌

[@melodybuffet1184]

Those are great choices

[@user-hp8mv2wl1c]

Thanks for video, bro. It's very big job. If you will come back to this theme (soviet post-punk and synth-pop), you can listen this songers: Форум (Forum), Алексей Вишня (Alexey Vishnya) and group Квартал (Kvartal) with their song "Paramaribo" (Парамарибо). And also group Auktsion (Аукцыон), they're cool (songs Nepman (Нэпман), toska (тоска). Sorry about mistakes, don't speak english well.

[@user-hp8mv2wl1c]

And also good songs of soviet underground (post-punk, synth-pop, electronic): Sergey Kuryokhin - tragedy in minimalist style (Сергей Курёхин - Трагедия в стиле минимализм) Eduard Artemyev - soundtrack to film "Courier" (Эдуард Артемьев - Саундтрек к к/ф "Курьер") Original - How did you know? (Оригинал - Сен Қайдан Биласан) Duboviy Gaay - Autumn (Дубовый Гаайъ - Осень) Skryabin - it will rain (Скрябін - Най буде дощ) Dos Mukasan - Betpak Dala (Дос-Мукасан - Бетпак Дала) Aquarium - radio Shao lin (Аквариум - Радио Шао Линь) Picnic - Hieroglyph (Пикник - Иероглиф)

[@melodybuffet1184]

@@user-hp8mv2wl1c Thank you for the comments. I have already made a video on Eduard Artemyev, hope you enjoy it.

[@magnoliy08]

you recommend auktsion and dont mention дорога?

[@user-hp8mv2wl1c]

@@magnoliy08, this song is of course good, but, in my opinion, the group "Auktsion" has more interesting songs. for example, “Sleep Soldier” (Спи солдат) , “Shards” (Осколки), “Happy Birthday” (С днём рождения), "Bird" (Птица) and others. And this group is a stage show. It is advisable to study it by watching live concerts.

[@rozhed]

39:12 Spinki Menta is the early name of Chernyi Lukich, not another band.

[@redsun8006]

Конечно некоторые группы тут тяжело отнести к пост-панку, но в целом конечно стоит их вспоминать. Не знаю, были ли у ваших видео группы плана «Мотогонки», «Хуго-Уго», «Элен», «Зазеркалье», «Холодный Дождь», «Вечерняя Школа», группы Сантима? Отдельно также можно вспомнить о творчестве группы «Дубовый Гаайъ». В целом контент интересный, спасибо

[@melodybuffet1184]

All great bands that deserve a video of their own. Especially Duboviy Gai.

[@florianotto3133]

Awesome video, I definitely learnt something :))

[@freemancrowbar]

@11:34 "Why does this dude have an OP-1 in 1984 oh wait". Now I'm interested in that thingie.

[@jellymop]

It’s the Soviet Trash Theory! I dig it

[@xcxjcxfjff5656]

great video, was very surprised to hear my home country and city here

[@przegrywentertainment2725]

11:41 i wonder what were they social background when they had in 1984 fender belts and yamaha sgv :oo

[@iskra8029]

awesome! can i get a list of bands mentioned in the siberian punk part? can't find all the names

[@swafty5813]

Bravo

[@weaintfriendsweaintfriends7346]

To western listeners I really can'y recommend enough to listen to Agatha Christie full discography. It is amazing, my favourite album is Uragan (1998). It's very dark and beautiful with super catchy hooks and riffs in every song

[@personaljeezus]

As a Russian, I approve fs You can find a video clip of Moryak(Моряк-Seaman) song here on yt. Really great thing

[@mikhail1615]

you forgot to mention Akvarium that was the most influential band in the beginning of the Soviet Post-Punk

[@melodybuffet1184]

Aquarium experimented with New Wave on their 80s album but their music was more akin to old-school Art Rock traditions, and then later the band moved towards a more Folk Rocky sound. Obviously an influential band but not really a post-punk one.

[@mikhail1615]

@@melodybuffet1184 yes, exactly. They were the first to create a massive following for post punk and new wave music in ussr, but then they switched to other styles

[@user-jm3xl7rg5k]

"Aquarium" == post-punk? No. More like default "hippy-rock".

[@mikhail1615]

@@user-jm3xl7rg5k послушай альбомы Табу, Электрошок, MCI, Электричество - вообще все редкие записи с электрическим звуком, которые они смогли сделать в начале 80х. Конечно, постпанк не был главным направлением творчества Аквариума, но эта группа была главной в самом факте появления постпанка в ссср

[@przegrywentertainment2725]

31:20 they were both not from chelyabinsk but from chelyabinsk70 aka snezhinsk

[@tynik69]

Thank you for educational experience, seems like only foreigner can teach us to our real history 😅Unfortunately natives prefer to mention only popular bands and authors in their essays. UPD was shocked with info about Izhevsk IDM scene

[@chmonyaee1598]

Damn that was really cool from soviet guys my favorite is СпиД and girl punk group Женская болезнь So there then is obscure guys сибирский мастурбатор but they from 90 AND Ольга Горпенко she is poetist but some of her lyrics are set to music

[@bigdebbie6265]

Could you please post track list. Thank you!

Hello, sorry for the late response but the list of songs with their original names is in the video description now.
