Pen pals were a big deal in the USSR. It went so far that kids in Yugoslavian elementary schools got addresses of their USSR peers to write to them and practice their Russian, which was taught in most schools, at least in Serbia. My mom had multiple pen pals, and one of them had built a gramophone from parts he got from his numerous pen pals from Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. She also sent him English and American records all the time, since it was a little easier to get them here. Dmitrii, you were ahead of your time.

Gotta mention that jazz was actually quite popular in the USSR, from the 1920's to the 1940's, and then because of Stalins post-war policies and the so-called "fight against cosmopolitanism", such musical expressions were severely curtailed until Stalins death in 1953. Once Stalin was gone and Khrushchev denounced him and his legacy, among other massive changes to Soviet society that occured during that so-called "Khrushchev thaw", jazz again started to thrive and even though there's a severe lack of recordings (it was mostly performed live, and the means of recording things weren't easy to come by), you'll find that for example Soviet movie scores from the late 50's into the 60's and 70's were very jazzy. These scores often even incorporated electronical synthesizers, and some prolific Soviet composers started turning it into some kind of electro jazz funk fusion by the 1970's. The genre itself is mostly instrumental, and with a lack of lyrics there was nothing particularly censor-worthy, and as a result, with the exception of the immediate post-war Stalinist period, jazz was fine. The legendary Moscow jazz club Sinyaya Ptitsa (Blue Bird) opened in 1963 and pretty much had daily performances and jam sessions by guest jazz musicians far into the night. It closed up shop in 2010, due to the premises being sold to a fast food chain. Sad.

It's great to see that people outside of the Soviet Union know about Soviet/ Post-Soviet rock and appreciate it. Being of Russian decent, I am a big fan of the music. A couple of anecdotes I wanted to add are : 1. The Trololo song by Eduard Khil was originally about an American cowboy and obviously the lyrics were censored. Khil decided to change them to lololololo and it became the legendary meme song we all know and love. 2. A Belarusian band called Pesniary (or Pesniari) which announced it's music as traditional Belarusian music (folk/traditional music was one of the only styles allowed at the time) wrote a rock song called Косил ясь конюшину (Kosil yas' konyushinu) and got away with it that way. Most of their other songs fit the folk/traditional description though and were very popular (I don't like them as much). Great vids! I would love to see more!

His grandfather, also named Anastas Mikoyan, was an old Bolshevik and one of the Caucaus Trio who remained in power from the time of Lenin until the early Brezhnev era. His granduncle Artem founded the MiG design bureau. Perhaps this played a role in allowing the band to become "official."

Just want to point out homosexuality wasn't illegal 'for the entire duration of the soviet union'. It was explicitly decriminalised in the 1922 legal code because they believed workers had a right to do whatever they want in their personal life. It was made illegal by Stalin in 1934, under the influence of ideologue Maxim Gorky. On the other hand one of Lenin's right hand men was gay.

Russian rock was known for the poetic qualities of its lyrics, sometimes written by "literary" poets rather than bands themselves. And you're right in saying the music is generally not happy. There were very few, if any, songs about sex, money or fast cars. Even love songs were few. It wasn't all doom and gloom, but these people were definitely serious about their messages.

I'd be glad to see you explore bangladeshi rock in a future video. Notable bands include Souls, Feedback, Miles, Warfaze, LRB, Rockstrata, ark etc. These are the more prominent and famous bands. There are several other less famous but amazing bands. As it suggests, I'm a Bangladeshi and would be proud to see someone take an interest in our music.

And Aquarium is my love for 40 years now. Yes, I'm listening it from before I was born. It is still active and very interesting, and produce really fresh works from time to time, it is not same again and again.

OH MY GOD thank you so much for making this... I absolutely adore the history of soviet music from the 50s-90s, with a heavy focus on stuff from the 70s. I was so happy to see that Yuri Morozov got a section in this, I love his work! I can't wait to see the second part, keep up the great work! it's so wonderful to learn about music from other parts of the world!

Hi Gabriel. Last year when I was in St. Petersburg, I stumbled across the country's first rock museum. Perhaps this video would be interest to you? Enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppKVip9paLqYmMU

The first real deal "homosexual act" on Soviet television was actually performed by Auktyon (which is a superb band to this day) in 1989, when dancer Vladimir Vesyolkin showed his butt in g-strings to comrades all across the Union. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmiUiI2Qm5mSfKM Vesyolkin was also the one who persuaded most of the rock scene of that time to sign a petition for decriminalization of same sex relationships (excluding Konstantin Kinchev from "Alisa", he always was a douche). And soon after homosexuality stopped being a crime in the early post-Soviet Russia. Can't wait to see Part 2, hope it will include Siberian punk (Letov, Yanka Dyagileva), pure genious Kuryokhin and his Pop-Mekhanika, and maybe lesser-known Komitet Ohrany Tepla with their cold dark reggae: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqG4oJSPp8eSba8 Thanks for the great video, keep it going!
